Or Zanshin is good for you.
I was listening to the Today programme the other week and a piece on will power struck me as quite relevant to the martial artist. Listen again here:
Scroll down to 0721:
"According to neuroscientists, having a lack of willpower isn't a character flaw, it could all be down to the physical make-up of the brain. The American science writer Jonah Lehrer explains an experiment by a psychologist at Stanford University."
Being self aware constantly can help build up the frontal cortex which is the area of the brain which handles willpower. Scientists found evidence that subjects who were trying to be aware of their posture throughout the day also built up their willpower. Also exercises in self-awareness or pay more conscious attention will help improve it too!
More cake anyone?
