Willpower is the ability to ignore temporary

term goal, and it is a biological function.
Vendarsol
, Anyone using willpower for long periods or
for multiple tasks will have less resolve to
make better choices. Using willpower is
essentially relying on one's rational side to
control or dictate what the emotional side
wants- and it is not really a fair fighting, as
emotions are a more powerful driver for
decisions than reason.
How are cognitive and behavioral processes of change different? -
Correct Answer-Cognitive processes result in new ways of
thinking and reinforce a client's motivation to change. Behavioral
processes, on the other hand, involve action-oriented learning
where clients experience the behaviors and adopt those that work
for them.
Time is an environment factor that influences program adherence.
Many individuals struggle to balance the many demands they face
and, therefore, perceive a lack of time to devote to physical
activity. Offer three simple stratifies you can use to help a client
reframe his or her thinking related to time. How can you
encourage time-efficient activities? How might you coach your
client toward lifestyle balance? - Correct Answer-Personal trainers
may encourage their clients to change their perception of time
availability through the use of goal setting, time management, and
prioritizing. Further, personal trainers should consider
implementing time-efficient exercise sessions or collaborating
