      "willpower" is a distraction. many (most?) people have an internal tyrant trying to force the rest of them into submission, and the experience of using up "willpower" is internal slave rebellion. it is possible but hard to permanently overthrow the internal tyranthttps://twitter.com/speakerjohnash/status/1147562712563458048 …

      furthermore many people identify with their internal tyrants rather than the rest of them, hence why they talk about willpower (taking the tyrant's POV) instead of about why some asshole in their head keeps trying to make them do stuff

      this is all learned behavior ofc. babies don't do this, neither do tigers. we inherited our internal tyrants from parents and teachers with tyrants of their own, deep ancestral trauma tracing back thousands of years

      the promise of the internal tyrant is that if you submit to it hard enough, external tyrants will be pleased and will take care of you. we are seeing that promise break down all around us, calling us to a more vibrantly alive form of being, at peace and not at war with itself

      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.

      That makes sense. I think enough people use willpower to refer to self-coercion that this thing deserves a different name; off the top of my head I'd call it concentration, in the meditative sense?
