How To Say "No!" to Almost Anything

- We all wish we had the self-control to say, "No," to certain things and the willpower to say, "Yes!" to other things. It's almost like we have two brains that are fighting against each other.
We talked with Kelly McGonigal, author of, "The Willpower Instinct," about this inner conflict we often feel and she helps us break down willpower into three different powers:
1) I Will Power
2) I Won't Power
3) I Want Power
Check out her book on Amazon at the link below.
The Willpower Instinct: How Self-Control Works, Why It Matters, and What You Can Do To Get More of It

I will not, I will, I want. I will not feed myself junk food, I will feed myself healthy food, I want to live healthy, strong and happy.
This is one of those things that make us human "different" from all the other life forms. We should be proud.
This video makes a lot of sense. I love the 3 powers - it's so true.
I got too distracted by the brains. lmfao
this changed my life. And when i forget about it, it changes my life every time again when i remember it
my advice is to start thinking about your life really serious. To set goals and find a meaning, so to form a basis of purpose. After this, your ability to resist to your insticts is much more stronger aw long as you've gained consciousness.
I've been the most successful at harnessing my willpower, not by resisting temptation, but by replacing destructive urges with constructive ones, and then rewarding myself with self-praise or pleasure.
wonderful, thank you I needed this push
I was practicing this three for my fitness without realizing it. I lose 40lbs bcoz of that. I will apply this for some other areas of my life
Those little brains are so cuuuute!
I have to work on a project for class tomorrow and study for a midterm exam.
...so I started catching up on the videos from my subs list.
I would love to have a pet brain like that :)
lol
Still left with exactly the same problem. Most people "WILL" and "WANT" Power, but CAN NOT "WON'T". So at the end of the day after all the blablala still the same, people can NOT SAY NO, are weak and can not resist quick gratification.
I use Replacement - rather than denying an urge, I find something of higher value to do/use/eat/think about instead.
one of the reason i follow epipheo since it started is because it's always original and creative.
Keep it up guys, may be someday i will be part of it :)
You guys are freckin awesome! Only two videos in
When you dedicate yourself to the good of Future You, your life will continue to get better as you become that You.
That huge bong caught me off guard so bad lmao
why haven't i discovered you earlier ! ? ! ? ...
i subscribed after i watch maker & manager time (paul graham) yesterday
am going though all your videos ...
this is another true gem ...
i have listened to many Kelly McGonigal "The Willpower Instinct" interviews & talks
but somehow missed out on these 3 WWW - WONT WILL WANT Power
your videos truly capture the essence elegantly
please look up how edsgar dijkstra defines "ELEGANCE" (father of programming?)
really many thanks 😀😀😀
.
I will, want and won't. Brilliant!! Thank you for this
I really wanted the smart brain to slap the other brain. that'd be hilarious
I don't really have a way of controlling myself. I eat as much as I please, and I get things done when I need them to be done.
I Will (Power) ignore the pressures of society. I Won't (Power) allow far-off prospects to distract me from immediate pleasures. I Will (Power) be the sort of person who seizes opportunities.
I think the best will power is not to plan what we want. but just do it instead
it's awesome and helpful. love it!
Loved it! Nice job on the video and helpful tips. Hope to tap in to that "I Will" and "I Won't" power today.
Epipheo you videos are awesome,one subscriber increased today
I won't, I will, I want! Awesome.
very clever,way to promote books! well done.
Amazing! It is so cool to have read the book before watching this video.
The animation is super cute and I love them!
love the animation! Subscribed!
I think Philips Zimbardo's time reference points give a deeper explanation, it touches on the missing link ... language, your language structure and usage determines your time perspective. I will do X, I can do X, I have done X, I am doing X ...are processed in very different way in the brain.
you guys r awesome ... u make evrything so simple.
This epipheo videos are great. Keep it up!
You Guys are Geniuses! well done!
That's great! I was enjoying the video! It sounds better when that woman is talking.
I just discovered your site. You guys are awesome. :) Thank you for your work.

By developping different kinds of willpower.
thanks! well done.
Yeah!
You guys are just awesome
If you want something, just do it.
If you dont want something, stop it
Great video thank you
Omg the bong.
excellent video!!!
IMO, the style and quality of video was outstanding, but the words behind the pictures were too complex and did not match the graphics. I may test it on a group, but initially, I found it distracting to the topic.
also thanks for the video!
yes
Isn't this just what Freud said? about the Id, the Ego and the superego. The Id only caring about wanting things now, the Superego caring about the future, and the ego balancing between.
These animations are cute and insightful! Thanks.
The two brains reminds me of Plato's theory of the two hourses
Appreciated..👍
I just met your videos, they're awesome!!
Great video , Thank you ;)
I have I want power, and will power, but no wont power.
I WANT CAKE!... I will use my will power to get some cake!
The little brain with the glasses was pretty cool.. and he gets away with anything when it concerns with my willpower. I want that wiser brain.. dont know when he will come back from vacation... *sigh*
Awesome people, you guys have taught me alot through your videos :)
