Is Your Willpower Limited?
October 3rd, 2009
…new research suggests that one big reason people fail to follow through on their exercise plans is that they have used up their willpower on other tasks.
The study examined the theory that people have limited stores of self-control, or willpower, in any given day.
Just like the money in your wallet, the theory goes, willpower is a finite resource that can’t be used on one thing if it is already spent on another. webmd
MY COMMENT: Not sure I am buying this theory- at least they suggest that you can improve self-control with practice.
