4 Ways to Build Your Willpower

How Do You Go About Building Your Willpower?

Usually, when we hear the word “willpower,” we relate it to losing weight or quitting smoking. Willpower is extremely helpful when trying to break those bad habits, but it can be beneficial in other areas of your life.

It’s important to realize that we’re not born with willpower; it’s something we must nurture and build in ourselves. Once we strengthen our willpower, it’ll provide us an upper hand in achieving our goals. Why? Because we’ll develop an unshakeable focus and intensity in purpose!

Here are four strategies to get you headed in the right direction:

1. Commitment.

You must be committed to reaching your goals. If you’re not entirely committed to what you want to accomplish, there’s no way you’ll be able to develop any willpower.

To successfully achieve your goals, you mustn’t harbor any second thoughts, excuses, or doubts. Be honest with yourself and know that this is something you genuinely want to see through until the end. 

Remember, just having the desire will not guarantee accomplishment. You can desire something without firm commitment, so be sure to distinguish between the two and take the appropriate actions.

2. Call on your inner strength.

Building your willpower takes perseverance. This is a time to call on your inner strength – that extra push you need to get through the difficult times. 

You’ve committed to taking a journey to strengthen your willpower and accomplish your most challenging goals – this is great! The truth is, you’ll have many days of success, but there will also be days that aren’t as triumphant. It’s on those not-so-good days that you can call on your inner strength to get you back on track.

Everyone has an inner strength, and most of us have used it on more than one occasion. Trust in it, and it will get you through the rough spots!

3. Ask for support.

Building your willpower to achieve a goal is a massive undertaking. Sometimes it can be overwhelming. Since it can be overwhelming, it’s imperative that we have support during this time. 

Entrust a friend, spouse, or parent with what you’re trying to accomplish. That way, when you hit a stumbling block, you have someone you trust to get you back on the right track.

Your support system will help you through the hard times and celebrate your successes with you. All sisters are more than welcomed to join our DEW Tribe to connect to a powerful support system.

4. Be consistent.

If you have the willpower to stop smoking for one week, that’s wonderful, and you should celebrate. But the only way you’re going to build your willpower is to do whatever it takes to avoid cigarettes today, tomorrow, and forever. Then soon enough, you’ll be celebrating two weeks, two months, two years, and then forever!

This strategy applies to any goal that you’re seriously trying to accomplish. You must be willing to keep up the positive behavior all day, every day, with no exceptions and no excuses.

Things can only improve as you continue to build your willpower. Keep pushing yourself forward!

Final Thoughts

Willpower is a tricky concept. We all want to develop it to break a bad habit or reach a particular goal, yet to do so, we must be willing to go the extra mile and fully commit ourselves to our success. 

If you keep your commitment, you should receive praise! Be sure to use these tips to help you build your willpower and celebrate your successes every day.
