Stress response is an instinct to manage energy, which determines how you will use your limited physical and mental strength.
Willpower is the ability to choose to do the most important thing, even if it is difficult.
4, willpower instinct: think twice before you act.
There is a key difference between "think before you act" reaction and stress reaction: the former is because you are aware of internal conflicts, not external threats.
6. The most effective way is to slow yourself down first, instead of accelerating yourself (such as stress reaction). The reaction of "think twice before you act" is to slow you down. When you are aware of the inner conflict, your brain and body will respond to help you slow down and suppress your impulses.
7. Long-term lack of sleep will make you feel more stressed, desire and temptation. You will also find it difficult to control your emotions, to concentrate, or to cope with the willpower challenge of "I want".
Moderate stress is an indispensable part of a meaningful and healthy life, and appropriate self-control is also necessary. But just like chronic stress can affect health, trying to control all thoughts, emotions and behaviors is also a poison, which will bring you excessive physical burden.
9. Willpower is an evolving ability and everyone's instinct.
Stress makes you pay attention to immediate and short-term goals and results, while self-control requires your brain to have a broader vision. Learning how to manage stress better is an important part of improving willpower.
