Honestly it was kind of annoying, no offense - just honest feedback. It’s one thing to be enthusiastic in the beginning to get the audience’s attention but to drag it on throughout the video distracted from the message
The finite resource problem is actually amazingly true. I have a mental condition that at times requires heavy self-control. And those days i am unable to do anything else taxing. Like work, control my eating and the like. The only solution i found is to give in to my condition, and that way i am able to live. Scary stuff. But i like the ideas, and will try to implement them hoping to, at least, make this less challenging.
I´ll give it a try. I personally like her voice, is very original, dynamic and with personality (specially when she does voices relates with the subject for example the workout, it sounds to me like a kind of schwarzenegger on the gym, hahahaha) keep it in that way, please don´t change.
I recommend excising your will power to exercise your will power, but if that doesn't work, excising your will power to exercise your will power to exercise your will power. However, in the case that neither work, just go and do it.
I believe the weakness of our willpower has to do with conservation of energy. The more we exert ourselves physically or psychologically, the less energy stock we will have. The body craves energy replenishment, junk food is dense energy. Just take your attention off the thoughts and or transmute the thought energy. Resisting temptation saps energy. Thought conquest is the highest goal. Meditation and the ability to stop and or redirect thought is a great start. Learn to visualize better.
The first exercise advice was given by my therapist. İ am a recovering heroin addict. İ'm 9 months and 26 days sober now. At my situation it had to work or i was going to destroy my life more but if eating cookies is your problem then it becomes harder.
That's great that you are putting so much time in to your studying...but consider the fact that how well you absorb and retain knowledge is directly impacted by what you put into your body (and how much you exercise). Eating foods that are rich in vitamins and minerals will help you sleep better and keep your brain functioning more clearly. Why waste 8 hours trying to jam knowledge into a brain swimming in a sugary, salty, oily haze??
I think we also need to recognize what we just shouldn't be doing in the first place, like obsessive dieting. I really don't like the word "diet" anyway. I prefer "health changes."
I've seen something similar to the suggested exercise. Basically, for a month, every day you do one thing you've been putting off. Be it a physical workout, the song you never finished, a recipe you haven't tried, or whatever. It doesn't have to be hard, it just has to be something you've been putting off so long you almost no longer want to do it.
The main reason people don't do things and might put them off is because they have linked pain to that exercise. The two reasons people do anything is based apon if they linked pain or pleasure to it. If you take the same scenario of washing the dishes, one might link up that washing them will be boring and hard then they probable wont do it. But if they can link up that doing the dishes gives them pleasure in knowing that they the wash was the best of there ability.(filling 1ofsix human needs)
i simply love her voice and the cartoons are so adorable. i am extremely glad i found these videos. this was exactly what i needed to improve myself. thak you wellcast
can u do a video of bloopers and mistakes that happened when making a video, and introduce people who worked with u for a video...........................................
The whole "will power is a finite resource" is totally true. I used a lot of will power to not swear today, and I cam home an pigged out on food because I didn't have the will power to just eat some carrots.
These are so helpful. I love each episode so so much! I actually do have a wellcast journal and I use it really well! I'm gonna make a video about it! Would you like me to tag you guys in it?
I have to say something about 1:25- 1:47. Chocolate chip cookies vs radish? You must remember that your brain needs sugar to function, and those chocolate chip cookies are overly abundant with it. Radish on the other hand, doesn't have as much sugar. So I would assume that this study was either conducted by an idiot, or was used for another purpose, because there are many more factors involved in ability to solving those puzzles, rather than just the depletion of will power after abstaining from eating cookies. Does that make sense?
The 'finite willpower' study was shown to be unreproducable in so far as the belief that willpower is finite is a form of cultural bias. ie. Just tell yourself that once you complete a task requiring intense willpower, you've just proven to yourself that you have more willpower than you can imagine.
I think young people especially (myself) find this particularly difficult. I tend to have "tunnel vision" and, at that moment in time, that TV looks reeeally nice and the homework looks like the most evil plague to blight the face of the planet... The prep works really well, though. Unplug TV, hide remote, unplug internet, put all snacks back in the kitchen where they belong. It's not about willpower, it's about reading your own mind.
I am a psych major, we had to study this particular experiment. To say that they "over simplified" would be an understatement lol. Like for example, the subjects were told just to play with the puzzle while they wait for the researcher to get back for the "real" experiment to begin, and maybe youre thinking that some people are just better at puzzles? well the puzzle was actually impossible to solve. I would need 5 comment boxes to explain everyhitng they got wrong lol. The real one worked tho
Awweee so cute! It really helps! plus your voice! omg so nice and relaxing at the same time.. it makes me laugh 😂 Omg.. I'll keep on staying tune to your channel! I SO LOVE WELLCAST! 😁😊
In the experiment: one group didn’t eat cookies and the other did. The group that didn’t did worse on the task, but how can attribute the difference between test and control to the use of their will power. How do you know that the other group didn’t do better just because they had a sugar rush
May I suggest throwing out your dishes? (well maybe storing them somewhere) Thus you do your dishes each time, don't eat or eat of the table. I prefer putting myself in situations where I have no other real choice but to act.
what Caitlin is saying if you have a huge pile of dishes in your sink you come home from work you wash five dishes and then the next day seven and so that way it would not seem like a huge task to complete
If i spent a day using my finite resources of willpower to study for 6-8 hours, how to maintain the power to not reach for a chocolate bar, or a bag of chips as a quick and easy substitute for a healthy meal. Because come on, I dont have time to study AND eat healthy all the time. Its just too plain hard to prepare and pack early. HELP!
I want to become like David Goggins in terms of will power. Bro ran 70 miles, broke his legs and then ducktaped them so they would go numb and then ran another 30 miles.
Cookies contain sugar, which is fuel for the brain. Couldn't the study also conclude that that's the reason the cookie-eaters did better on the test, instead of some undepleted source of willpower?
If you wash your dishes right after the meal, you will never have stacks of dishes,

Elementary, my dear Watson.
Does anyone else think this lady sounds like joy from inside out
+Casey rouillier yasssssss i was about to say that
Omg
I love her voice!!!!!
Yes!
Honestly it was kind of annoying, no offense - just honest feedback. It’s one thing to be enthusiastic in the beginning to get the audience’s attention but to drag it on throughout the video distracted from the message
And then you see. Sitting on the counter
DUN DUN DUUUNN
A big huge plate of chocolate chip cookies!
LOL!
Just came out today!

Starting the day with a task you do regularly and giving yourself credit for it also motivates you to do the bigger tasks at hand.
Could you do a video on staying motivated for exercise?
I recommend excising your will power to exercise your will power, but if that doesn't work, excising your will power to exercise your will power to exercise your will power. However, in the case that neither work, just go and do it.
I like this video

I get the example but who the hell washes just 5 dishes and leave the job half done?! I'd rather do em all and get it out the way
*high five*
same 😁😁i can't leave a work half done ...either I will finish it off
sry for bad English
The dishes are symbolic for anything we hate to do.
can you do one on exercise like how to keep a schedule. I really need help in this.

congrats, hope you stay sober ^^

i know right? im trying to cut back on sugar thats my health issue at the moment.

How to take notes...good for your students
DUN DUN DUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
I thought that too at first but it's not whether it's good or bad. it's just proving that willpower is not infinite.

These are some of the best videos I've seen in a long time! Love every second of each episode, keep it up!
can u do a video of bloopers and mistakes that happened when making a video, and introduce people who worked with u for a video...........................................
These videos are so good. They put so much effort into it and deserve way more subscribers
The whole "will power is a finite resource" is totally true. I used a lot of will power to not swear today, and I cam home an pigged out on food because I didn't have the will power to just eat some carrots.
This is more advice rather than a will power workout. With that said, you were hilarious and I really enjoyed the video! DUN DUN DUNNNNNNNN
Could you please link to these "trials" in the description?
It would be nice.
i love watching ur videos
These are so helpful. I love each episode so so much!
I actually do have a wellcast journal and I use it really well!

Would you like me to tag you guys in it?
Great video....Great style.

can you make a video on how to build self confidence

Baby steps always worked for me.

I wanted to start a diet right before Christmas. Then all of my relatives gave a bunch of sweet treats.
U don't have to give up sugars just limit yourself with the food you eat and exercise

Because i wanted those cookies...AND THEY WERE DELISHUZ! :D
quantity over quality that is the video
If you need help with will power email me.. most ppl have no will power because they are depressed
