Willpower, Self-control, and Self-discipline are the virtue of being able to control emotions, behavior, and gratification with the use of motivation. As simple as it may sound, willpower and self-control have an incredible impact in a person's life. It affects all aspects in a person such as discipline, responsibility, productivity, morality, and basically everything else. Willpower is the key factor that determines the quality and length of a person's life.
Perhaps the clearest demonstration of a person's willpower is his decisions. A person's decisions are influenced by two things; rational thoughts, and primitive thoughts. The rational thoughts are processed in the pre-frontal cortex, while primitive thoughts or reactions are processed in the ventral striatum. This means that the ability to think logically and analyze situations more intelligently is the effects of rational thinking, while impulsive reactions based on instincts and desires are the effects of primitive thinking.
Willpower is also called to resolve, determination, self-control, self-discipline, and drive. However, many psychologists characterize the term "willpower" or self-control in very distinct ways. According to them, willpower is defined as your ability to resist short-term temptations in order to achieve long-term goals; your capacity to delay gratification; your ability to override any unwanted thought; and your ability to have a "cool" or "calm" cognitive system of behavior rather than having an emotionally "hot" system.
Willpower is your ability to hold back any desire or impulsive actions that will have effects on you in the future. If you want to eat a bar of chocolate; insert another dollar in the slot machine; tell a person he or she offended you or have another glass of wine; you know that in doing any of these will not be the best decision because it has consequences in the long run.
This book covers the following topics:
- What willpower is and why is it matters?
- The science of self-discipline and self-control
- Build routines and habits for ultimate self-discipline
- Characteristic of mental toughness

...And much more
Willpower is finite and limited. It is a depletable resource that gets used up in action. Remember, when we defined that willpower is the fuel of self-control? Willpower is the fuel that gets "burned" when self-control is in action. Every act of self-control uses up some of your willpower reserves.

"We all have dreams. But in order to make dreams come into reality, it takes an awful lot of determination, dedication, self-discipline, and effort" (Jesse Owens).
Self-discipline is one of the keys to living your life to the fullest.
What successful people have in common is that they strongly believe that discipline is the gateway to the achievement of their goals. They leveraged the art of self-discipline by creating a set of mental models and good habits that helped them to see things differently.
Building self-discipline is a complex exercise however. It's not only about pure willpower or about doing repeatedly something, it's about training yourself to follow a specific set of rules that help you shape and align your thoughts and behaviors to the goals you set.
This book is here to guide you through the process of developing and practicing your self-discipline and to get into the habit of applying it consistently to your life to reach everything that you want.
In this book you will discover, among others:
the benefits of strengthening the self- discipline;
why self -discipline is the key to success;
success stories of famous people who, despite all the odds that were stacked against them, found a way to achieve their goal through pure self-discipline and determination;
How to develop skills of self-discipline using activities such as meditation and visualization;

Have you ever seen the 'humble plant?' Sorry, I mean the Mimosa. Tried to touch it. You will realize that it closes its leaves and droops once you touch it. It has a defensive mechanism that is activated when it senses danger. That is how our emotions are.
Your mind uses emotions as a defense measure to protect you from further uncomfortable feelings.
Life is full of adventure. Do not stress yourself by perceiving things from a negative perspective, holding on to undesirable feelings for way too long, and overthinking things at all times. What do you gain in the long run? NOTHING You will end up losing control over your consciousness and allow emotions such as fear, apprehensiveness, and sadness to become stronger.
When such emotions intensify, they will affect your emotional, psychological, and physical wellbeing, and pave way for many other emotional, mental, and psychological problems such as chronic stress, self-medication, anxiety, relational problems, paranoia, and depression.
Fortunately, you can overcome this problem

This is because happiness and peace are states of mind that you can cultivate within you, irrespective of the challenges in your life.

Описание: Develop yourself by answering the same question 5 YEARS in a row.
This simple guided journal gives you the opportunity to share your thoughts about your life, interests, personal goals, and special moments as a human being. Over the course of five years, you can look back and reflect on how the answers to these questions have changed or stayed the same.
This exercise is one of the most powerful weapons to notice your evolution over the years, to improve your habits, your behavior, and even to change your whole quality of life.
The questions range from the prosaic ("what was the last movie you saw?") to the contemplative ("What should be the goal of humanity?") giving readers a comprehensive look back at their thoughts and feelings over a five-year span and noticing their first reaction when they read the answer they give 5 years ago.
The most wonderful part about this daily journal is that it enables readers to track their emotional growth as well as keep track of memories, and provides an interesting walk down memory lane a few years later.
This "One Question a Day" book is the perfect gift for anyone who wants to change their quality of life, look back and see their evolution, and become a better version of themselves.
Begin the adventure of a lifetime by nurturing the most important relationship you will ever have-the relationship with yourself
The Art of Self-Nurturing was written to empower you to become the artist of your own life and see self-nurturing as an art form. Rather than living from obligation and overwhelm, you will learn to cultivate a life filled with self-compassion and self-love.
The practice of self-nurturing is not about being perfect or completing another thing on your "to-do" list, but rather nurturing a relationship with yourself. It is about recognizing what is nurturing in any given moment and allowing your practice to evolve accordingly. The more we nurture ourselves, the more we know ourselves allowing us to reveal more of who we are in the world.
This field guide is designed to make your journey easier and to support you by breaking down the process into three parts: The Foundation of Self-Nurturing, Cultivating a Self-Nurturing Practice, and Integrating Self-Nurturing Practices into Your Life.
Each section is broken into chapters and provides inspiration, best practices, examples, reflective questions, and self-nurturing practices to support you on your journey.

In the melee, Sarah tumbles overboard and washes ashore on an island ruled by the wicked Mr. Grim, who sends his pirate son Black Tooth out to steal babies and then raises these hapless tykes to become Woolies, weavers of fine rugs. Chased by Mr. Grim, Sarah stumbles into the enclosure known as Woolie World and meets Freck, a timid five-year-old dressed head to toe in a fuzzy white garment. Sarah quickly discovers the marvels of a world populated by singing, dancing Woolies. But she also sees a darker side. Failed Woolies are turned into "Worms," exiles who live in underground tunnels and scrounge for food. Sarah befriends Mr. Grim`s twitchy but kind-hearted son Nigel and joins forces with Thomas, the 12-year-old Woolie leader. Will they be able to outwit Mr. Grim and rescue Woolies and Worms from servitude? This unique fantasy adventure sparkles with wit and wordplay, harrowing adventure, and heartfelt emotion.
