 lets talk about willpower and persistence
I've been doing a few willpower "drills" lately. I've been finding myself increasingly nacissistic lately, so i decided i wouldn't look in mirrors anymore. I went for about 4 days without looking at myself in any reflective surfaces, but eventually i broke and looked. after that it was like a damn being released and i went back to being almost as bad as i was before.
The funny thing is, i don't really consider myself that good looking and looking in the mirror sometimes makes me feel worse, depending on the light, but i do it anyways.
I figure i have the willpower and motivation to get started on pretty much anything i want, the problem is i lack persistence to carry through and make a real change in my life.
Like sometimes i'll psyche myself up for days weeks or even months, thinking of this thing i'm going to do and then once i get started, i'll find myself not enjoying it that much or finding it not what i expected it would be and just quit.
Anyone else have problems like this? how did you overcome them? thanks
