Willpower Instinct

I tend to procrastinate often what to do.

I tend to fail very often to do what to do. I know that it is one of my many weak points.

I read "The Willpower Instinct" by Kelly McGonigal for the second time. In this book, I found something encouraging to me. She says, "many people treat themselves as they are still small children. You criticize and scold yourselves whenever you procrastinate something. " You are so lazy! ... You cannot be reliable, trustworthy…”

If you think that the key to have more willpower is that you should be more strict and harder on yourself, you're wrong ... The Study after study shows that self-criticism is combined with less motivation and poorer self-discipline. It (self-criticism) also leads to depression ....

Being hard on yourself leads  you to the self-abandonment. (If you are on a diet, and eat randomly or accidentally too much, you will probably be disappointed and have the feeling of self-abandonment and you will eat more and more ...) In contrast, compassion - supportive and friendly - with more motivation and better self-discipline combined. "

I think that I'll forgive myself, and I’ll give myself more encouraging words.
