Self‐control has been established as an important factor in various domains of life, significant for general well‐being; thus, a self‐induced lack of self‐control may prove detrimental for well‐being. Self‐induced lack of self‐control may stem from implicit beliefs about self‐control as a limited resource, but research has shown this belief to be unwarranted. Furthermore, it has been shown that a belief about self‐control resources as unlimited has a positive effect on many domains in life and ultimately on well‐being. This study addresses the question of antecedent beliefs about self‐control resources and proposes personal Grip on Life, defined as skill‐based goal setting and goal approaches, as a possible antecedent. This points to development of interventions altering a limited belief to an unlimited belief based on empowerment of one’s Grip on Life
