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
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.

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 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.
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
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'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.
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."
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?
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)
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! 😁😊
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
