2. Substitute temptations. Quickly get a glass of your favorite juice or soda if you don't want that beer.

3. Ask for help. If you can't stop complaining, for example, have friends point out when you are doing it.

4. Relax. Willpower is low when you are stressed. Close your eyes and take three deep breaths.

5. Energize yourself. Willpower tends to go up and down with energy levels. Sleep well, play energetic music, move around, or start an interesting conversation.

6. Find cause of temptation, and deal with it. A boring job or life can lead you to all sorts of stupid ways to find "excitement." Consider changing what you can change.

You can call it willpower, or self control, or something else. You just want to stop yourself from doing harmful things, right? Using techniques and tips here will help.

You can change your expression!

You can change your body!

But, to change bodily form, you must change its expression first!

If you are locked in a room, with key on inside of door, on your side, you will fail to get out-no matter how much you butt your head against door-unless you first turn key to unlock door.

But, it is easy to succeed in getting out of room, if you turn key in lock first, and then open door.

If you have failed to climb out from under limitations of bodily conditions, it is because you have been attempting to batter down form of limitations without first changing its expression. To succeed means "to climb out from under." It does not mean to batter down, to smash, or to '' reduce to nothingness.''

You can always change expression of any form of life.

And, changing its expression will change its form.

Soul expression is soul-in-action.

Activity comes first!

Every soul loves beauty of activity more than it loves beauty of form; for, in active expression, there is a beauty which has a greater and stronger appeal than beauty of form.

Do you not prefer living, romping, active, companionable dog-even though he may not be perfect in form-to most perfect clay model of a dog any artist ever designed?

As a mother, do you not prefer active, living child-even if its nose is not perfect- to most beautifully formed and perfectly featured doll in world?

And, young man, do you not prefer living, loving, joyously expressive maid, to perfect wax figure in department store window?

It is beauty of expression which we most love! It is beauty of expression which attracts others most!
