In my preprint, I explore the connection between motivation and willpower, as well as their
ability to "transfer" from one activity to another. Specifically, when a person faces a task and
experiences difficulty, their body responds by mobilizing resources for willful effort. However,
if such mobilization is insufficient, it might be enhanced by mentally switching to another,
more challenging task. This can stimulate mobilization and increase readiness to return to
the initial task. This model is inspired by the well-known "Rubicon Model."
This approach might be of interest as a method of self-regulation. I would love to hear your
thoughts:
1. Have you ever applied something similar in your practice?
2. Could this idea be further developed scientifically?
3. What other self-regulation methods do you find effective?
Am pointing tothe importance of maintaining a balance between different aspects of the human personality, including the rational, emotional, and physical faculties. By cultivating this balance, an individual can develop a strong and resilient will, capable of withstanding the challenges and temptations of daily life. The transfer of states of consciousness can be achieved through the practice of directed intention. When engaging in any activity, one should strive to cultivate a sense of purpose and direction, focusing their thoughts and intentions on the task at hand. By doing so, they can create a sense of flow and continuity between different activities, allowing them to transition seamlessly from one state of consciousness to another.
