Not Willpower; Bodypower

Bodily awareness. More wisdom in the body, muscle and sinews than the “mind”.

When we think about “willpower”, we tend to think about the mind. Why the focus on the mind? We like to think that the mind is immortal… and after we die, somehow our mind or “soul” will continue to live indefinitely. Also, the hope of Silicon Valley utopists about somehow uploading your mind or consciousness to the cloud and living forever or whatever.

However, my thought:

When we think about “willpower” in the general sense, all our “willpower” actually is rooted and comes from our body.

In other words, respect and obey your body!
