[00:00:02]It's not true. Your willpower is not something mythical or esoteric that you need to summon like some kind of a spirit. Your willpower is not magic. It depends on your brain's control system, especially the prefrontal cortex, a brain part that helps control impulses, think long-term, and choose your future over instant pleasure. When this system is tired, stressed, or under-oxygenated, [music] when prefrontal cortex brain cells simply don't have enough energy to function properly, your primitive reward system starts [music] taking control, and then your cravings become stronger than your long-term goals.
