“I think. So I can change who I am.”
Walter Mischel


Слайд 3The brain is such a powerful tool.


Слайд 4
It can help us obtain amazing achievements.


Слайд 5
These achievements are possible thanks to two contributors:

Willpower


Слайд 6This slideshow will explain what willpower is and how to improve

it.

Слайд 7
If we go backwards towards the beginning of evolution…


Слайд 8We will find a long period of time where humans were

not safe.

Слайд 9
Our brain has developed strategies to satisfy the primary needs of

any living species :

Surviving

Reproducing


Слайд 10
These strategies are still coded in our brains.

They are attributes

of the human species.

Слайд 11Let’s call the part of our brain that manages these instinctual

behaviors to satisfy primary needs, the warm brain.

Слайд 12Humans have developed unique skills such as anticipated planning and reasoned

decision making.

Слайд 13Let’s call the part of our brain that manages the analytical

and cognitive capabilities, the cold brain.

Слайд 14Both brains interact and are useful to every human.


Слайд 15The warm brain will select chocolate, as it will procure more

sugar, thus producing more energy to survive.

The cold brain will select the apple, as it is healthier for long term survival and there is no immediate danger of starvation.


Слайд 16In the case of immediate danger, the warm brain will take

the lead for the safety of the human.

Слайд 17The willpower is the ability of our cold brain to control

the impulses of our warm brain.

Слайд 18

Knowing that willpower is a standard cognitive capability, we can deduce

several of its characteristics.

Слайд 19
First, just like with cognitive capacities, willpower depends on our genetic

patrimony.

Слайд 20

Thus, all of us have different levels of willpower.


Слайд 22


We all have the same capability to transform and improve our

own willpower.

Слайд 23



Secondly, instinctual behaviors are different depending on the context and domain

(thus, the strategy to control them too).

Слайд 24




It means that some people have good willpower in some domains

and others, bad. Willpower is not a global or constant quality in people.

Слайд 25
Cognitive activities consume energy. The more control used to manage impulsion,

the more energy that is consumed.

Слайд 26
Thus, don’t use your willpower for too many things. You must

allow your brain to rest after intense use of willpower.

Слайд 27
Summary- 4 Things to Know:
We have different susceptibility towards willpower.
We have

the same capability to improve our willpower.

There is no one willpower but different willpowers depending on the kind of impulse to control.

Willpower consumes energy.


Слайд 28

“Ok, but how can I improve my willpower ?”


Слайд 29
Remember, there is no “one willpower” but several willpowers.


Слайд 30Just like any other cognitive activities, willpower is a network of

activated neurons.

Слайд 31The network of activated neurons can be changed through experiences. It

is the elasticity of the brain.

Слайд 32

The more the network of neurons are activated, the less it

requires resources to be activated.

When we use a strategy to control a certain impulse for the first time, it requires a lot of energy.

Then, when you have made a habit of this behavior, it doesn’t require as much intense energy.


Слайд 33

So, if you want to improve your willpower for a particular

behavior, you should:

Identify the stimulus activating your instinctual answers coming from the warm brain.

Propose an alternative behavior to this stimulus.

Make it a habit by repeating the alternative behavior.
