3 Ways to Improve your Willpower!
 1. Take Personal Responsibility.
 By placing ownership for things we are not coming through
on, off on something or someone else, we give the control
over our decisions where it should not be going. Willpower
requires control of yourself, if you are handing it over to
another person or thing, you will never have enough
willpower to change or complete what you are trying to do.
 Tip: Begin increasing willpower by taking full responsibility
for decisions and actions that you take. In return you will
see both your willpower and discipline rise.

2. Watch Your Self Talk
 By watching how you talk to yourself as you make decisions you
are reinforcing your personal responsibility and freedom as a
person. But just as important, the way you talk to yourself has an
influence over your confidence and inner strength. When you
lack confidence and inner strength, you will notice that your
willpower goes down. If you are consistently talking down to
yourself, you decrease the level of key factors that can boost
your willpower. The stronger you feel about yourself, the more
inner strength you will have to make decisions that are in your
best interest.
 Tip: Increase willpower by talking kindly to yourself.

3. Define your Purpose
 In business you have to have a 3 and 5 year plan. Why? Because it
gives you and those around you a direction and a vision. You must have
a purpose in each choice that you make for your company so that it
moves in the direction of your goals. You need this same plan in life.
Create weekly, monthly and yearly goals or plans for yourself, and put
them in a place where you can see these goals each day. Then, each
time you make a choice, be sure that it is in line with your purpose and
direction. If you know why you are here in this world and if you
understand where you desire to go, then your willpower and control
over your choices will be stronger.
 Tip: Take time to reflect on your purpose in life. Create goals and plans
for your future and take these into account with each decision you
make.
