  - - - One of the most robust and important findings in self-regulation research is that self-control is limited. This concept is often referred to as ego depletion. People only have a finite amount of willpower, and once it has been used, self-control becomes much more difficult. This means that engaging in self-control makes subsequent acts of self-control more difficult.
    - - In addition to being depleted, self-control can also be replenished. Baumeister and colleagues liken self-control to a muscle.
    - - To continue the muscle analogy, it has also been suggested that self-control can also be strengthened through training.

        Detect present-ideal incongruence
        
        Generate an action plan to eliminate the incongruence
        
        Instigate plan-regulated behaviour
        
        Monitor the effectiveness of the plan in reducing incongruence
        
        Modify the plan and the behaviour accordingly
  - - - the present state is unpleasant and aversive, and is usually characterised by the absence of something (e.g., competence, recognition, relationships). In such situations, which we have discussed extensively above, the person is to motivated to engage in behaviours that reduce these unpleasant feelings.
    - - occurs when people strive to achieve bigger and better things by conceiving of an ideal state that exceeds their previous expectations. In the case of discrepancy creation, the present state need not be unpleasant; yet, the desire to move to an ideal state that is “better” still motivates discrepancy-reducing behaviour.
