Ep 47 - Why Willpower Fails You (and What to Do About It)


Listen Later

Have you ever wondered why your willpower seems to vanish right when you need it the most? You start the day with good intentions, but by evening you’re exhausted and reaching for snacks, skipping workouts, or putting off the things that matter most.

 

In this episode, I’m breaking down why willpower fails and what we can do about it. You’ll learn simple, practical strategies to conserve willpower so you don’t have to rely on it all the time — because the truth is, willpower is limited, and there’s nothing wrong with you if yours runs out.

 

You'll learn:

 

🔸 How willpower really works, and why it’s normal for it to fade throughout the day

 

🔸 The common conditions that drain your self-control faster than you realize

 

🔸 Four powerful strategies to protect your willpower: environment design, routines and habits, planning ahead, and automation

 

🔸 Why taking care of your body and mind actually replenishes willpower, creating a positive cycle of energy and consistency

 

🔸 How to set up your future self for success so that healthy choices feel easier, not harder

 

If you’ve ever felt frustrated because you couldn’t “stick with it,” this episode will reassure you that nothing is wrong with you — and it will show you how to design your life in a way that doesn’t depend on willpower to keep you moving forward.

 

I’m wishing you the best as you build healthy and productive habits that make life easier, not harder. 🙌
