Welcome to Tim Van Orden's Running Raw Project. In this episode: While presenting "Turbo Charge Your Life!" in Ramsey, New Jersey, Tim talks about the nature of willpower and discipline. 
.
Most people who go on a diet or try to exercise more, think that the way to succeed in such endeavors is to be disciplined and exercise willpower. But this simply doesn't work in most cases. As Tim discusses in this video, willpower is a limited resource, and it can easily be depleted by other stressors in your life. When someone goes on a diet in a middle of an already stressful life, they are bound to fail. There is just not enough willpower left over to stick to the diet. 
.
The solution? Reduce other stressors first before attempting to go on a diet or exercise regimen. These stressors are making you crave the comfort food, and sedentary lifestyle that prompted the need for diet and exercise. Next, take tiny steps towards any changes in diet or exercise. Don't jump in headfirst. Just put a toe in the water at first. Gradually you will build momentum and a new habit will form.
