Introduction In a world filled with challenges and setbacks, the quest for resilience has become paramount. Resilience is more than just overcoming hardship; it's about flourishing in the midst of it. And when it comes to resilience, few cultures embody it as profoundly as the Finns, who have a word for this indomitable spirit: Sisu. Sisu, pronounced "see-soo," is a unique Finnish concept that encapsulates grit, determination, and courage in the face of adversity. It's an intrinsic quality deeply embedded in the Finnish psyche, influencing how they approach life's challenges. But what exactly is Sisu, and how can we incorporate this powerful mindset into our own lives? At its core, Sisu is about perseverance in the face of extreme adversity. It's the ability to summon inner strength and tenacity when confronted with seemingly insurmountable obstacles. While resilience is a universal trait found in every culture, Sisu has distinct characteristics that set it ap
According to a study conducted at Stanford Unversity by Dr. Veronica Jobs, just as we fill fuel in the car to run it. The willpower works in the same way, it keeps us motivated all day. As we cannot fill fuel in a car beyond a certain limit, we have willpower in a limited amount. Whenever we wake up in the morning we used to have 100% will power but we use that will power while doing unnecessary things and feel demotivated when tough situations come. There are many students and professionals who feel very less will power even before ending their day. On the other side, we have people who used to stay motivated throughout the day. Let's understand how those people maintain their higher motivation and there are no magic secrets.
Researchers explain how playing video games in excessive amounts drain our willpower. To prove this point Stanford University conducted a study where few students were divided into two groups and one group was provided with exciting video games. On the other side, the second group was provided with small books for reading and painting material for making drawings. After four hours, researchers conducted a math test. The results were an eye-opener as more than 90% of students of the first group had given up the test paper without solving most of the questions but on the other side, most of the students of the second group solved all questions. Scientists started interviewing first group students as to why they had given up so early? Students explained how they had lost all their energies and will power in winning different stages of games. On the other side, the second group was just reading light books and hence had very high will power to solve maths questions. Many of us play excessive video games, lose willpower unknowingly and then start blaming others for their failure.
Our willpower just acts as a muscle and if we train that muscle without exhausting it in playing excessive video games then we can get success very easily. There are certain ways to increase willpower:
1. Priority list: we must always make a priority list each day and must follow that list religiously. This list must always be made one day before so that we will be clear that what things are to be completed the next day. By planning in advance we can save our time also.
2. First things first: As we read earlier in this article that willpower decreases as the day passes and we have the highest willpower level at the starting of the day hence we must do important things first.
3. Eat timely: To do important things we must have correct energy levels to execute them. Many times we used to skip meals in order to complete certain projects but it's not correct as we cannot execute important things without having optimum energy levels. Do read our article on the importance of BMW to live a better and fulfilling life.
In my life, I’ve found a lot more motivation when I’m focused on encouragement and celebrating the good things rather than concentrating on negativity. I hope that helps.
