Will power and your non-dominant hand

Can you pass by that cream doughnut without reaching our your hand and yum. yum, gorging it.

If you have eaten it as most do, you may feel a sense of guilt and shame. and 'hey you guys you might start beating up on yourself' (sorry for that lapse into Americanism).

The key to willpower is activating muscles., experiment done on people using their non-dominant hand to open doors etc showed their are much wider benefits when you start activating muscles.
The non dominant hand users for instance became less aggressive in their work and relational
activities.

If one has a goal of passing that doughnut the failure to do so and the resulting shame and guilt
have to looked at as the use of certain muscles and must be measure against the other muscles
of losing weight, of having a goal to be healthier and we achieve this by using those
muscles rather than the stuffing your face muscle.

One has to decode the catch-all word will-power, a meaningless term, like so much of language,
and look scientifically to the use of our muscles and the effect it has on our brain.
