Kelly McGonigal defines willpower as "the ability to do what you really want to do when part of you really doesn’t want to do it."
It consists of three elements:
1) I will – the ability to do what you need to do
2) I won’t – resisting temptation
3) I want – Your goals and noble desires
McGonigal recommends increasing willpower though getting proper sleep, exercise and nutrition. Engaging in mindfulness and meditation. Meditation can increase the prefrontal cortex part of the brain which is a center of the brain key to willpower.<ref>[http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3190564/ Neurobiology of Spirituality], E.
