Just like real muscles, your willpower can experience fatigue. This is why using willpower exercises repeatedly to deal with tempting situations, such as people offering you a cigarette, may lead to a smoking slip-up.
It’s a good idea to bear this in mind and have a plan for managing these situations or if you feel your willpower fading.
A common belief among smokers is that you either have willpower or you don’t.
However, willpower is often linked to motivation – and the great thing about motivation is that you have the power to change it! If you have low levels of willpower or motivation now, it doesn’t mean they’ll stay low.
The trick is to make a start on developing your willpower.
