Four Steps to True Willpower
Thursday, August 5, 2010 at 2:40PM
There's a name for the difference between wanting something and getting it done. It's called willpower.
Willpower is what makes you kick off the sheets instead of laying in bed all day. You can't fake it, so how do you get it? Here's four steps in a simple path to get some willpower for yourself:
- Inspiration. First find somebody that is doing what you want to do. This makes it real! Study their methods and habits so you can start making them your own. Greatness doesn't just happen, it takes work.
- Setting a goal. Find that race or other goal that you want to conquer. Now follow through and finish setting that goal as much as possible. If it's already doable, go ahead and register for it!
- Consistency. "One workout does not an athlete make." This is the true habit that will make your dream come true. It is not glamorous, but it's the bricks that makes the bridge between the old and new you. The bricks are small and laid one at a time, no matter how big the bridge.
- Proper diet. Absolutely none of the above will work unless you have the energy to execute. We're talking a proper diet of mostly fruits and veggies as your base, and then filling in the rest with healthy choices. And don't look for cheap energy like loads of coffee or energy drinks; that's not true health or fitness.
