The core of the book is the seven step approach: Train your willpower! Exercises such as making yourself sit up straight at your desk can have surprising benefits in other, more difficult, areas like resisting temptation to eat or drink too much. Choose the right goal at the right time: Willpower works best when focused on one thing rather than many. Change takes time: Especially if using willpower to change established habits like eating too much, drinking too much or smoking. Identify those situations where your willpower is challenged: Anticipating these scenarios gives you time to prepare a game plan. Be kind to yourself when you fail: Learn from any setbacks. You are not back at square one. Reward yourself (for successes and effort): By overriding certain impulses we can be depriving ourselves of sources of gratification. It is crucial to find other sources of gratification, pleasure or reward. Maintain your progress: Simple techniques can help you maintain your motivation, even on the toughest day.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 153.8 Ry Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Nonfiction 153.8 Ry Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 153.8 Ry Checked In Add Copy to MyList Wahiawa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 153.8 Ry Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waipahu Public Library Adult Nonfiction 153.8 Ry Checked In Add Copy to MyList
