 respect for feelings, differences, rules, and self-respect.

 Self respect-pride and confidence in oneself

 rules have a purpose. Some rules keep us safe. Other rules protect
property.
 “Destiny is not a matter of chance. It’s a matter of choice. It is not
a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved. ”William
Jennings Bryant
 As Roy F. Baumeister, PhD, author of the book Willpower:
Rediscovering the Greatest Human Strength tells us, “will power is
not a personality trait, a skill or a virtue. Instead, it operates like a
muscle. And as such, it can be strengthened.”

 results of the American Psychological Association’s annual Stress in

America Survey. The survey asks, among other things, about
participants’ abilities to make healthy lifestyle changes. Survey
participants regularly cite lack of willpower as the No. 1 reason for
not following through with such changes.
 In 2011, 27 percent of Stress in America survey respondents reported
that lack of willpower was the most significant barrier to change.
 willpower is the ability to resist short-term temptations in order to meet
long-term goals.
 University of Pennsylvania psychologists Angela Duckworth, PhD, and
Martin Seligman, PhD, explored self-control in eighth-graders
 June Tangney, PhD, of George Mason University, and colleagues
compared willpower by asking undergraduate students
 Terrie Moffitt, PhD, of Duke University, and colleagues studied self-control
in a group of 1,000 individuals who were tracked from birth to age 32 as
part of a long-term health study in Dunedin, New Zealand.
 implementation intention- the form of “if-then” statements that help
people plan for situations that are likely to foil their resolve
 Mark Muraven found that willpower-depleted individuals persisted
on a self-control task
 Willpower researcher Roy Baumeister, PhD, a psychologist at Florida State
University, describes three necessary components for achieving
objectives:
 establish the motivation for change and set a clear goal.
 monitor your behavior toward that goal.
 willpower.
 Australian scientists Megan Oaten, PhD, and Ken Cheng, PhD, of
Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia, assigned volunteers to a
two-month program of physical exercise
 Once a good habit is in place, Baumeister says, you’ll no longer need
to draw on your willpower to maintain the behavior.
 Improve Will Power:
 Meditate like a Zen Buddhist Monk
 Kelly McGonigal Ph.D, who teaches a class on The Science of
Willpower at Stanford University,
 building up gray matter in areas of the brain that regulate
emotions and govern decision making.
 Magic pill of exercise-a 2006 study by Oaten and Cheng, participants
were given free gym memberships
 Harness the Power of Accountability
 Set SMART Goals
 Specific
Measurable
Attainable
Relevant
Timely
 Unleash Your Inner Conquistador and Burn the Ships
 In 1519, a Spanish conquistador named Hernan Cortez-Found
Mexico
 Remove Temptations and Distractions
 Using Freedom, a web-app that allows me to “block out” my
internet for a set period of time.
 Using Stay focused, a Chrome web-app that allows me to block
out chosen websites for certain parts of the day (Thanks to Max
Nachamkin from Inner Gladiator for the tip)
 Eat the Big Ugly Frog First
 Roy F. Baumeister PhD made during his research is that we only
have a finite amount of will power each day.
 In his book The 4-Hour Workweek, Tim Ferriss talks at lengths
about Pareto’s Law (also known as the 80/20 rule) which states
that 20% of our input creates 80% of our output.
 Eliminate Unnecessary Decisions
 When asked about his productivity strategies, President Barrack
Obama said, “I don’t want to make decisions about what I’m
eating or wearing because I have too many other decisions to
make.”
 As Baumeiseter found, every single decision we make during the
day dips into our will power reserves

said “99% is a bitch, 100% is a breeze.”

indomitable will."-Mahatma Gandhi.
 Navin Gulia- Limca Book Of Records. He became the first person to drive

 : “The best things in life aren’t things.” –Art Buchwald
 discipline"[training to act according to rules]and "self-
discipline"[restraint of oneself or one's actions, such as anger].
 delayed gratification" [to put off immediate reward to pursue a longer
term goal
 impulse control" [the ability to think before acting
 Natural Hygiene is the system which helps people live in harmony
with the physiological needs of the human body, thereby maximizing
health.
 “The underlying basis of Natural Hygiene is that the body is self-cleansing,
self-healing and self-maintaining. Natural Hygiene is based on the idea that
all the healing power of the universe is within the human body; that nature is
always correct and can not be improved upon. We experience problems of
health (i.e. excess weight, pain, stress, disease) only when we break the
natural laws of life.”
- Harvey Diamond, Fit for Life, 1985
