"Two things have been shown to train the brain"s willpower reserve, or strength: meditation and physical exercise. Meditation training improves a wide range of willpower skills, including attention, focus, stress management, impulse control and self-awareness. It changes both the function and structure of the brain to support self-control. For example, regular meditators have more gray matter in the prefrontal cortex. And it doesn"t take a lifetime of practice " brain changes have been observed after eight weeks of brief daily meditation training. Physical exercise also leads to similar changes in the brain, especially the prefrontal cortex; however it"s not clear why. Regular exercise " both intense cardiovascular trainings and mindful exercise like yoga " also makes the body and brain more resilient to stress, which is a great boost to willpower." http://scopeblog.stanford.edu...
