How Willpower Is Rebuilt
A healthy life is only possible when there are rules. We need structure — plans grounded in flexible ranges.
For example: “I’ll work on this task for 60–90 minutes, 2–5 days a week.”
Willpower functions like a muscle: the more you use it, the stronger it becomes; neglect it, and it weakens.
The true power of willpower strategies lies in consistency. Consistency means maintaining the habit — at least once every two weeks.
When there is no flexible range and only a rigid target, falling short often leads to frustration and discouragement. Over time, this can damage your confidence.
It’s essential to create opportunities for small, daily wins.
