Building Tenacity and Willpower

Engaging in challenging tasks can enhance brain function, leading to a sense of youthfulness. By deliberately choosing to do what we least want to do, we activate the anterior mid cingulate cortex, which strengthens our tenacity and willpower. This practice not only enriches our lives but may also contribute to longevity by fostering a stronger will to live.
