The experience of willpower feels different from the internal tyrant to me. Willpower is something like "My ability to hold on to ONE intention for a long period of time, without it being replaced by other intentions."

For me at this point it doesn't come from a place of self-coercion. Its' from a place where I recognize that sometimes I need to put off short term intentions for a period of time to realize long term intentions. A sort of loving-snooze button on those other intentions.
