How To Stay Motivated And Master Your Willpower

How To Stay Motivated And Master Your Willpower
Everyone gets excited about the idea of self-improvement. But when it comes time to actually put in the work over the long haul, things change. We find excuses. We don't follow through.

This video explores how you can stay motivated and on track long after the initial excitement of improvement has passed. It covers a few surprising ways to better manage your own willpower so that you stick to your resolutions and become the person you want to be.

When you've mastered your willpower and learned how to stay motivated even through arduous tasks, achieving the goals you've set for yourself becomes much, much easier. Enjoy :-)

If I could make a suggestion to make your Videos better: add Text. Just keywords when you say them, so that we have a visual support to remember it.

Hey Charlie,

I've read "Willpower" as well and I love the way you've not only pick out the most salient ideas, but made them so actionable and practical with great examples. Keep up the awesome videos man!

Tip number 4 was the best of all. Am I right?

[wheelz]

This is some of the best advice I have ever gotten. SO many things I want to implement in my life!

The concept of willpower as a resource is currently being scientifically challenged. We don't really know for sure whether it is or not anymore, as we have repeated experiments and found different results. In fact, an experiment was done and they found that people who thought of willpower as a limited resource gave up on tasks much sooner than people who thought of willpower as infinite.

Yes please, expand on the point on identity. I see that certain things tend to be so effortless for certain types of people and after watching your video, I believe it is this point number 6 that makes them and their actions sync, such that they have no desire for anything else that can set them off course and only have eyes for the ones which can be for the betterment of that identity which they perceive themselves to be. Looking forward to your follow-up video. Thank you for sharing the main gist of the book!

I love your channel. A few of the things you say on your videos are what I tell myself anyway, but hearing it come from a trusted source just makes me feel confident in going about it that way.
could you please do a separate video on how to connect your existing identity to a new one that you want to be? Thanks

I've just discovered your channel through Zone of Success and I absolutely love it! I cannot stop watching your videos as I find all of the topics you talk about so important! I am currently struggling to change my habits and routines, improve my skills, health and live on my way to achieving the success I dream about. Your channel was exactly what I needed, thank you so much!

Dude I can't with this channel.. it's too amazing

[phaazeshot]

dude! What an awesome channel! I've already watched so many videos on this subject, but i've never seen such a great summary of the most critical points. Your other videos are cool too :)

[rowancooper-g]

The One Thing is also a key book!!
I've also just bought 'How to Master the Mind' by Buddhist Master G.K. Gyatso- which may coincide with your mind mastery book.

More sleep DEFINITELY helps with Willpower, you're right.
Thanks for another great video 🙂

[StateAlchemist]

[Kyrus]

[cam_ferguson_official]

I apologize, I was taking notes, and I missed #4, was that "surroun yourself with people that share your goals?"

[lifebydesignstudioproductions]

this video is beautiful! it's so great. my gosh I actually haven't see anything like this and I am constantly feeding myself information. fantastic job!!!!

[Sky-vywv]

Thanks for making this, it's going to help me a lot.

[KittyCat-otvc]

I have seen many videos saying that in replication tests showed that will power is not a limited resource unless the participants were told it was. So telling people that will power is limited is lowering their will power.

[Redbull]

Good stuff man. Just found you and have watched many of your videos now. Keep it up.
