I found the simplest and most powerful way to increase willpower.
Willpower is the one thing that makes the difference between being productive and falling into procrastination.
So many times I had the opportunity to work, but a little voice whispered, “Let’s do this first, then I’ll work.”
The same voice that made me binge-watch Netflix.
The same voice that scared me when I needed to take bold action.
The same voice that held me back from taking leaps of faith.
That voice used to take up so much space in my mind, I thought it was me.
But it wasn’t. That voice was just showing me the level of my emotional capacity to hold discomfort in the face of adversity.
A few years ago, I found a quick fix.
I started doing hypnosis—and even creating my own sessions—every time I faced a new challenge.
Because hypnosis reduces the resistance to start something new.
It rewires the brain and creates new neural pathways, making new actions feel as natural as breathing.
But here’s the truth:It didn’t strengthen my willpower, it just made me adapt faster.
Willpower is what keeps you going when things get hard.
Even if a new habit feels natural, you will face unexpected challenges.
That’s when willpower helps you push through the voice that says, “Meh.”
So I asked myself: how do I make it stronger?
In other words, how do I stay motivated, how do I maintain a high level of dopamine to keep moving?
Then the answer came to me, from someone I consider a genius Mark Cunningham, a powerhouse in the world of hypnosis.
He said:
👉 Willpower only exists in the present moment.
It exists only in the exact moment you choose to work or procrastinate.
I used to want a quick fix, because hypnosis is so easy. You just close your eyes, listen, and wake up a new person.
But willpower is a muscle. It’s your ability to slow down your body, feel your emotions in real-time, and then choose.
You build it by going to the mental gym aka, meditation.
Willpower is like focus. It’s your ability to stay on the path no matter the noise.
Meditation is an amazing practice that anyone can start.
To me, the easiest way to build focus and willpower is through mantra meditation.
Just repeat a word over and over.
It clears the mind, oxygenates the brain, and the vibration of your throat calms the vagus nerve.
The advanced level? Simply observing your breath in silence.
Start today. Watch how you regulate your emotions, increase your focus, build willpower
And most importantly boost your productivity by making real-time choices, instead of reacting to your childhood patterns.
The choice is yours.
Start today.
