Pull up the will power, it's bleak!

7 ways to develop by the method of the Father Self-Control

   In this post we will learn how to resist the temptation and develop willpower. The methodology of the psychologist known to us as the Father of Self-Control is Walter Michel.

       In the 1960s, a classic experiment was conducted with children of 4 years of a psychologist-

A Stanford professor - Walter Michel with his students. Historically it is called Marshmallow Test, or a test with marshmallow.

The essence is clear: the children entered the room, where the teacher offered them sweetness. Children had the choice: eat one, or wait 20 minutes and eat 2 sweets.

The test results were published 30 years after the experiment. Effective and purposeful people who achieved considerable heights in life were those children who were able to withstand a 20-minute temptation.

  The manifestation of will power and patience certainly has a huge impact on the outcome.

How to achieve such humility and persistence in the manifestation of willpower, we will see in the methodology from Walter Michel.

So, let's start:

1. The fundamental principle

 The most basic in principle of strengthening the willpower - to make the future more tempting in its presentation, it is possible to discard the present as much as possible.

For people who like unhealthy eating, you need to concentrate on the consequences of this mode of eating food. For example: "I will type extra pounds if I continue, and summer soon ... and sadness."

Adhering to the concentration on getting pleasure from the menu of "unhealthy diet", it is unlikely that you will be able to restrain yourself.

A clear instruction and phrases must be prepared in advance, to counteract temptation.

2. Do not give in to small manipulations

Justifying yourself for weakness - keep in mind that psychological defense was included at the immune level. It is a good defense against "responsibility", that's why it creates and helps to come up with excuses for "bad day"

, "I was forced", "tomorrow I will do," and does not give the opportunity to scold myself. When the realization of another justification comes, turn on the "stub" of your psychological defense.

 3. Non-working strategy

    When we realize that we are not able to keep ourselves under control,

We begin to remove from the house everything attractive in the form of harmful products and incentives (cigarettes, alcoholic beverages), and the refusal to purchase such products.

 But consider! To implement this strategy you need to develop a clear plan. Otherwise, all your attempts at changes will resemble the "beginning of a New Life in the New Year".

 4. The method of self-control

   Understand what moments you are not subject to self-control, start a diary of self-control. In this notebook, you can mark the moments of control and confront weaknesses. Events and moments that caused stress in you, you mark in a notebook, and track the intensity of development and decline. Forewarned - armed.

The results of your entries in the diary can be used to compose blanks "once".

5. Procurement "once"

   It is much easier to resist the temptation, having a clear plan. You need to learn how to keep a "once in a while" bundle in your head.

Examples: If I walk past a pizzeria, I will not open it, I will go to another street,

"If my alarm clock rings at 6:30 in the morning, then I'll go train."

Often implementing such plans, the more automated they become and allow for control without effort.

 6. Overestimate the harm

  Reassessment of harm is an effective strategy for strengthening willpower. The best method will be to get another notebook,

In which you will record all the troubles that can be threatened. Thus, you will see the opposite side of your food temptations, in the form of chocolate cakes, pies, from which you want to get rid. But for this you need to study all the side effects of your destructive habit. Consequences may be diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, and the liver in the distant future,

Keeping such a way of eating.

7. A look from the side

 Learn to look at yourself from the outside. How can it be? Many people experience the decline of self-control, feeling the severity of their experiences, after parting, once again experiencing heavy feelings. But look at yourself from the side, you will notice that not such a bad situation has formed around YOU.

    Can you imagine that this is on YOU looks influential in your opinion a person. And he says, "How is this possible, after all, you're an intelligent guy, come on, it's still ahead!". Be prepared to lower the importance of your problem, to concentrate on positive aspects. All methods work, if they are applied in practice.

I apply this technique to this day.

A lot of psychological traps found in themselves. Most people think that business is "the parents were given by inheritance," or "money is needed for this. My answer is "NO, you are wrong!".

 The power of will and manifestation of character, more precisely persistence and lack of fear, the most important fear of failure »!

Once again succumbing to temptation, I write down a diary or smartphone, and I'm looking for an answer, "why did I do this?" It is also possible for financial purposes, "Do I need an Iphone 7plus?".
