I’ve written before about the power of focusing your mind and how it can help you change your mood. That same power of focus can also help you in situations where you find your willpower tested. According to The Power Of Delaying Gratification on the Happiness in this World site, if you find yourself tempted by some pleasure that you’re not yet willing to indulge, putting your focus on some other tempting treat that you can’t have right now is actually stronger than relying on your willpower.
To your happiness power!
