Day 105: On Predicting When You’ll Give In

People who think they have the most willpower are actually the most

likely to lose control when tempted. Why? They fail to predict when, where,

and why they will give in.

—Kelly McGonigal

If  you  don’t  know  yourself  well,  you’ll  struggle  with  building  self-

discipline because temptations will often catch you unprepared.

A key practice you should embrace in your everyday life is to make a

note of when, where, and why you give in to temptations. This knowledge

will  help  you  structure  your  life  in  such  a  way  that  you’ll  reduce  the

chances of a similar situation happening again or help you become prepared

to overcome the urge when it arises again.

For example, I know that when I take a nap during the day, I’ll most

likely wake up hungry. I have no idea why; all I know is that if I fall asleep

during the day, it’s almost guaranteed that I’ll wake up so hungry that I’ll

have to eat something — and while it’s usually a piece of fruit and some

nuts, often (in my still groggy state) I’ll overeat.

Consequently, whenever I feel tired and know that I’ll need to take a

nap, I mentally prepare myself for the hunger when I wake up. If I can, I

simply eat less prior to taking the nap so that when I wake up, I won’t eat

more than my intended daily calorie ration. Alternatively, I try to set up a

meeting  with  a  friend  so  that  when  I  wake  up,  I’ll  immediately  have  to

leave, with no time to spare for a visit to the pantry.

Think  of  some  of  your  most  common  slip-ups  and  figure  out  when,

where, and why they happen. What can you do when you’re most likely to

give  in  to  the  temptation?  What  can  you  do  to  avoid  visiting  the  venue

where they’re most likely to happen? Why do you think you’re succumbing

to this temptation and is there any other way in which you can address the

need this temptation fulfills, without actually giving in to it?
