Monday Morning Mindset Shift

"The Science of Self-Control"


Listen Later

Today's podcast is based on ANOTHER podcast I listened to by Menno Henselmans and Dylan Guynn. I'll link it below, but in essence, they were saying:

"Self-control is a single capacity that is used for all types of tasks- that is, you use the same resource to resist eating junk food that you use to concentrate on working. At least one other study has found that inducing a positive mood via watching a comedy video or receiving a gift can counteract the effects of that depleted state (sic: when you have to exercises willpower). 

Finally, one study has suggested that willpower is only a limited resource if you believe it is.  This study found that students who viewed willpower as a non-limited resource procrastinated less and got better grades than students who viewed it as a limited resource."

I tried to break down what I learned in order to make it less scientific. Either way, I hope you enjoy it and get to take something away from it!
