Ready to Make a Change? This Works Better Than Willpower Alone!

Ready to Make a Change? This Works Better Than Willpower Alone!

I envy people who have great willpower—you know, those who have this remarkable ability to simply decide to stop eating sugar or start exercising more and then follow-through for weeks, months, and years to come. Too often, my intention to change a behavior is met with inner resistance. It is as if there are two parts of me—the conscious self who is determined to be healthier, and the unconscious self who sabotages my efforts. As a result, the more I try to push myself to stop eating sugar, the stronger my urge to indulge. I find that I end up doing even more of the very thing I am trying to stop doing!
