Willpower is a must for achieving the goals we have set for ourselves even if our target is developing healthy habits.

Here are twelve tips to help you increase and strengthen your willpower:

1. Stay away from negative thoughts. Feed your brain enough positivity and hopefulness.
2. Eat right and get enough nutrition. Don’t develop a habit of eating junk food. Our mind is what we feed to it.
3. Learn to handle pressure. When we do it, our stress level reduces automatically and less stress brings healthy thoughts and boosts our willpower.
4. Get a nice sleep for sufficient duration (generally 6 to 8 hours) as it would relax your mind and provide you with enough energy.
5. Meditate for a few minutes every day. Make it a regular practice. A mindful meditation would help you develop clear thinking and self-control.
6. Learn to control your emotions.
7. Exercise daily for at least 15 to 20 minutes.
8. Plan and set achievable goals. The goals you set should neither disturb your sleep nor should be out of your reach, i.e. they must commensurate with your personality and intelligence. Also, break your goals into small deadlines so that you remain motivated and manage things easily.
9. Control the temptation that drives you away from your goals. Think right, think ahead.
10. Celebrate every small win of yours that comes your way of chasing your goals.
11. Believe in yourself, stay disciplined and learn to manage your time.
12. Go slow. Treat yourself nicely and do not hesitate to take help from others whenever you need it.
