Have you been doing anything in particular to cause your willpower to increase? What are some effective techniques for increasing willpower?

What seems to have worked really well for me is just practising willpower by intentionally exposing yourself to pain and stress. But then again, that requires willpower.

For example, eating restrictions, n-back, exercise, music starvation, standing up or squatting while doing things, not watching TV, not playing games.
