You cant really get superhuman willpower, the same way you cant really get superhuman muscles - I mean you could take adderall or steroids and boost yourself beyond natural limits, but long term its unhealthy.
You can still improve willpower though. You have to work it just like you would work a muscle. Meditation a form of willpower practice, but wont help unless you practice what you learn. If you want to write a page, you must start with a sentence, to write a sentence you must write a word. To take a walk you must go outside.
You can also remove things that inhibit willpower like browsing IST or other dopamine frying activities.
Atomic Habits is a great read and goes over points like these in better more actionable detail, highly recommend.
You get the ability to perform self control by performing self control. There's no improvement, it's just a matter of which master you choose to follow at the moment.
Just
Do
It
unless you got some really steadfast delusion like going for that walk will make you win the lotto or if you live your best life you will go to heaven or whatever you can't, thats some gay main character type shit, doubt will be in nearly everything we do
you already have it.
Read Thus Spoke Zarathustra and study the Will to Power
>I tried meditation but that shit doesn't work
You tried it a day and stopped. Willpower is built over extended periods of time, not over a few days or weeks.
You probably come from dumb low IQ poor breeders that did not even teach you to have discipline and thus missed out on decades of building good habits for life. You lack both the genetics and the training for willpower.
Give up.
I would bet any amount of my money my dad is more jacked than your dad
What is actually stopping you from doing what you want
I say I want to walk I go walk
How is this hard homieh, just go for a walk lmao
What type of intrusive thoughts are you getting homieh
Honestly OP I haven't exercised willpower for a while but I guess I can share a bit of my experience and reflections with you.
What does superhuman willpower look like to you? To me it looks like someone whose will doesn't bend to anything, feelings or external factors.
When I was younger I had some delusions about what makes someone have superhuman willpower. That's why I ask if you to leave such presumptions aside and look at it like this for a while:
Someone who displays superhuman willpower is someone who decides to keep going no matter what, even if for some reason all odds in the world were stacked against him, no matter whatever feelings might be dragging him down, he would just keep "moving forward".
You don't really need any life changing advice or brain boosting drug to experience such willpower. Just start by doing something, whatever 5 or 10 pushups, and when you're done with that and wonder if you should just binge watch YouTube videos or some other distraction, take a second to practice introspection, recognize everything that doesn't mean working towards accomplishing your full potential, all of that doesn't matter, it's probably active and passive negative things that deep down you dont want.
Now do what you consider helps you reach your full potential, this is when you exercise control and willpower, choose what's truly good for you and you will have this willpower, what makes it "superhuman" is exercising this control for far longer than anyone else, you could even keep it up forever.
I feel like I kinda messed it up, sorry English isn't my first language.
TLDR; You get control over your willpower by "exercising" it, if you keep doing this without giving up for long enough it turns superhuman.
The breaking point of many people who don't give up over being just tired is when the existencial doubts kick in, "why am I doing this?", "what meaning does this have?" "isn't it meaningless?".
Reached character limit, I'll finish in this post:
You can overcome the existencial dread by choosing your actions wisely, introspection helps a lot.
Just do it. That's the secret
Take control of your inner monologue. I used to have annoyed and angry thoughts running on autopilot all the time, but then I started consciously constructing objections to them and have been much happier since then. Do this and then use the same voice you use to temper your mood to make yourself do things.
you might have undiagnosed ADHD like me and just not realise your dopamine levels are completely wrecked
100% but I will not succumb to the meth. I will try everything
You just do it.
it's really easy
Stop what you’re doing, close your eyes and clear your mind, count down 5 seconds to 0, start doing thing
> i want willpower
> please tell me what to do
NGMI
u must generate the vibes, anon, generate the vibes!!!!

Write it ("How do I get super human willpower?") every where put on every page of the books you read. Write it in the margins of your workout journal. Make it the password to your phone, laptop and password manager. Make it so you can forget get your want for willpower.
Or that's what I did with the phrase "you always control your actions and its the greatest gift".
Habits are everything. Design the life/routine that you'd want to stick to everyday in order to achieve the things you want, then create habits based on it. Prioritise the most important ones and work on them everyday. At the end of the day evaluate what went well, what went wrong and what you will do differently tomorrow. Do not run from failure, embrace and learn from it. Iterate again and again everyday, honing your habits until they are second nature.
>I tried meditation but that shit doesn't work
Let me guess, you try things 3 times and then give up
>i wanna be this
>i wanna be that
well grab your fricking nuts and BE it
