Be able to control yourself

  • Some simply experience fewer temptations
    Our character is partly dependent on the genes. Some of us like to eat, others adore gambling or go shopping. High consciousness is a character trait, also inherited. Its owners diligently study and monitor their health. They were just lucky: they won a genetic lottery.

  • Wealthy easier to control ourselves
    Children from poor families have a much worse control over themselves, passing a test with marshmallows. There is a reason for this. Elliot Berkman, a scientist from the University of Oregon, believes that people who grew up in poverty are more focused on momentary rewards than on long-term ones, because when you are poor, the future looks uncertain.

Everyone who at least once took a diet knows that willpower does not work in the long run. In addition, the lack of self-control is often confused with a moral fall. We believe that a weak willpower does not allow us to lose weight, although it's all about genetics and our overloaded calories. We blame the dependent in that they do not know the measures, although they are not able to control themselves.

You can use the willpower to, for example, not return to the bad habit. But to rely only on it when achieving goals - it's like relying on a handbrake when you drive. You need to concentrate on what is pushing you toward the goal, rather than dealing. Willpower sometimes works in such a that you, on the contrary, lose.

It's to recognize that obsessive attention to self-control k from finding methods that really lead to success.
