But I really used to love reading those magazines because the articles were always very interesting.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes they were very inspiring too.<\/p>\n<p>Needless to say, coming across the magazines was a pleasant surprise. So much so that I immediately stopped cleaning the closet so I could become reacquainted with my old friends.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, before I knew it, I was downstairs on the living room couch relaxing with an old edition from March 2009, along with a bowl of cocktail peanuts and an icy cold beverage &#8212; much to the Honeybee&#8217;s chagrin.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, as I was enjoying my little break I came across an intriguing piece on the human brain.<\/p>\n<p>One thing I learned is that the brain&#8217;s prefrontal cortex controls our willpower.<\/p>\n<p>But what I found particularly interesting is that we can <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Self-control\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">exercise our willpower<\/a> like a muscle. And that&#8217;s important for folks like me who hate cleaning closets.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s also great for those who consistently find themselves spending more than they earn because they lack the discipline and financial backbone required to <a href=\"https:\/\/lenpenzo.com\/blog\/id10351-the-best-household-ceos-understand-the-power-of-saying-no-2.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">say no<\/a> when it comes to spending cash on frivolous things.<\/p>\n<p>It turns out that our brains possess only a finite amount of willpower. Apparently, scientists say the following experiment proves this:<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s say you&#8217;re asked to eat a plate of food and then solve <a href=\"https:\/\/lenpenzo.com\/blog\/id4567-are-you-smarter-than-a-5th-grader-guess-this-room-service-bill.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">an extremely difficult puzzle<\/a>. If it&#8217;s a plate of tasty cookies, you&#8217;ll persist in solving the puzzle for some time. However, if it&#8217;s something unpleasant, like lima beans, research shows you&#8217;ll spend significantly less time trying to solve the same puzzle.<\/p>\n<p>According to the scientists, that&#8217;s because those who push themselves to eat those yucky lima beans end up depleting their willpower to a point that leaves them with less motivation to work the puzzle.<\/p>\n<p>The good news is that we can build up our willpower &#8220;muscle&#8221; by doing things that tests our perseverance. How? Well, one neuroscience professor suggests that something as simple as brushing your teeth with your non-dominant hand over a period of several weeks will do the trick.<\/p>\n<p>I know. It sounds crazy doesn&#8217;t it?<\/p>\n<p>But for those who are having trouble sticking to their budget, this little exercise might be worth a try. Besides, even if it doesn&#8217;t work you&#8217;ll still be able to say you&#8217;re ambidextrous.<\/p>\n<p>Then again, if it <strong><em>does<\/em><\/strong> work, <a href=\"https:\/\/lenpenzo.com\/blog\/id3372-100-words-on-why-budgets-are-so-important-for-most-people.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">your household budget<\/a> will be all the better for it.<\/p>\n<p>Come to think of it, your closets will probably end up being a lot cleaner too.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><span style=\"font-size: smaller;\">Photo Credit: Trix and friends<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The other day I was reluctantly helping the Honeybee clean out her our closet &#8212; and having a thoroughly miserable time doing it, I might add &#8212; when I came across a couple of old Discover magazines.
