Spirit training. Strength of spirit and will: how to develop them? What is the difference between fortitude and willpower?

Why don't most people live the way they would like? Because they lack the spirit. You can call it differently: inner core, character, spirit. The essence is the same.

Spirit is essential for a successful life. And in general for life, because this is really not a hundred meters, but a marathon. What is needed here is not a heroic impulse, but endurance and perseverance. Including in the face of danger, death. Good example fortitude- tunnel from prison. Composure before execution. Almost everyone has something that seems unbearable - a wife, a country, a job. And the spirit is what helps you walk even when there are red spots in front of your eyes. Reach the end and win. Because you won't achieve anything by being in your comfort zone. This is a household matter - you can lie on the sofa all your life for your pleasure. The main thing is to understand what will lead to what, to what finish.

How strengthen the spirit? Spirit is a derivative of willpower, its manifestation and expression. What is willpower? This is the ability to overcome oneself, the ability to concentrate on one subject, to gather in a strong-willed bundle. How to train willpower? Read carefully - the main thing here is to understand the principle, and the specific method can be anything: physical or mental.

For example, the world famous actor Will Smith said that as a child, his father instructed him and his brother to dismantle a brick wall and move the bricks to another place. It took them 2 years. After this, the father said: “Now you won’t be able to say that you can’t do anything.” That is, it takes constant effort over quite a long time. Although, a year will be enough.

You can engage in internal development - for example, meditate for 1 year every day for 1 hour. Even just looking at a black dot on a white wall just develops the ability to concentrate and be collected. It sounds easy, but for a modern person it is very difficult, since he is sorely short of time. Plus, some thoughts arise like: “Why do you need all this? How can? There is still no result.” Well, we need to take into account distracting factors such as relatives. A modern person can only have enough time at school, and even then it’s not a fact. And already at university, many begin to earn extra money. So this is also a test.

Can strengthen the spirit training. Martial arts and martial arts are especially suitable - always with sparring or full contact fights. At the beginning, everyone has a certain jitters before sparring - will I be embarrassed, will I be scared? The anxiety can be so strong that you will want to quit everything. And here you just have to take it and go, no matter what. The ability to force yourself not to miss training is also an important part of martial art. Because this is precisely what develops the will. Set a goal for yourself to retire for at least 1 year and do it. Or even better - 2 or 3 years.

But, again, the method can be any. A psychologist I know strengthens the spirit at the expense of push-ups - partly because he can’t stand them. You can train your willpower by jogging in the morning when you want to sleep. You can also douse it with ice water. In general, everything that is difficult and unpleasant, that forces you to overcome yourself. Asceticism won’t hurt here either, but more on that another time. But you can also study music, foreign languages ​​- anything!

Keep in mind that rationality is needed everywhere - if you are overtired, then overcoming yourself will not lead to anything good. You will only become even more tired, and sooner or later you will quit your studies, which will lead to a decrease in self-esteem. Healthy sleep and normal food are simply necessary.

But when you gain some experience, and quantity turns into quality, you will understand this from the looks of others. The Spirit will change your posture, your voice and your look. Those around you will make way, and the girls, on the contrary, will cling to you. The spirit is your real backbone.

There are many forces and energies known. In science it is customary to talk about gravity, electromagnetic and nuclear interaction. They can be measured and recorded by instruments. In everyday life, physical force is often used, which is also easy to measure or feel. Even a strong character can be compared among different people. But there is one concept that scientists cannot measure or analyze. Even now it remains a mystery what fortitude is. What is its nature? Why is it needed at all? How can you develop this quality? Let's try to answer these questions.

What is fortitude

Fortitude is a state of consciousness in which a person becomes free from everyday problems, rising above the daily routine. It should not be confused with, or, although they are related. Fortitude refers to a higher, mental component of behavior. She appears in response to . Very often people associate this concept with. The latter means the desire to overcome obstacles. Strength of spirit arises when a person stops chasing after mundane goods.

Let us illustrate this with the following example. Let's say a young warrior decides to become a professional fighter. He travels the world in search of opportunities to test himself. Agrees to fights with the most dangerous opponents. This demonstrates unbending will and determination. He creates obstacles for himself and rejoices at the opportunity to overcome them. Gradually he gets tired of it. He understands that there are many other, even more important moments around him and begins to develop spiritually. Boldness is replaced by fortitude, which does not at all mean a lack of courage. On the contrary, it gives you the courage to rise above routine.

Will and fortitude have different vectors of movement. The first comes outward, changing the world around us. The second is directed into a person, changing his attitude towards this world.

In the context of what has been said, it is appropriate to update what spirit is. Unlike the physical world, this sphere is on a completely different plane. Supporters of esoteric teachings and religion claim that there is a “subtle” energy that cannot be detected by known instruments. This energy ensures a person’s connection with the Creator, strengthening through the development of spiritual strength. Just as people train their muscles, improve various skills and strong-willed qualities, it is also possible to strengthen a person’s spirit. But these exercises will be different from your usual workouts. The most basic difference is that spiritual strength is not depleted by exercise, like muscles. It cannot be retrained. Every lesson is beneficial. The more there are, the better.

Why develop fortitude?

Spiritual practices and teachings affirm the presence of intangible entities that interact with humans. Some help him, others, on the contrary, try to harm him. Strength of spirit is needed to contact the former and block the action of the latter.

A spiritually rich person is able to project a mental request that will quickly reach his Guardian Angel and have a better chance of being realized. Also, fortitude helps fight energy vampires, the evil eye, damage, etc. The deeper and more developed a person’s spirituality is, the less susceptible he is to negative influence from the outside. Strength of spirit serves as energy immunity, protecting against evil. The above reasons prove the need to develop this quality.

How to develop mental strength

Cultivating spiritual strength includes various exercises, by performing which you can achieve enlightenment. Some of them are related to specific physical training, while others are aimed solely at mental strength, and may outwardly resemble inaction. But the effectiveness of these methods is impressive:

• Control of internal energies;
• Positive thinking;
• Physical and breathing exercises;
• Spiritual literature;
• Meditation techniques;
• Good deeds;
• The ability to forgive.

Let's look at these techniques separately.

Control of internal energies

Various energies continuously circulate in the human body. Some provide its connection with the cosmos, others appear as a result of the work of internal organs, or rather, individual cells. Each of them contains small energy stations - mitochondria, which ensure our vital functions. It cannot be said that fortitude depends on them. But the ability to control and direct one’s own is precisely what ensures the development of this quality. If a person learns not to waste his internal resources on negativity and harmful things, but devotes them to more lofty goals, then the person’s spirit will become stronger, and his effectiveness in life will noticeably increase.

One of the first energies that you should learn to control is sexual. The famous American writer Napoleon Hill in his book “Think and Grow Rich” noted that for success it is necessary to subjugate your sexual energy, directing it in a creative direction.

Positive thinking

The feedback principle is one of the most powerful in this world. A person receives a result equivalent to his thoughts and actions. Evil is rewarded with evil, good is rewarded with good. A person’s spirit grows stronger if actions and thoughts are aimed at its development. attracts appropriate situations. Of course, sometimes negative events happen, but the stronger the fortitude, the easier it is to cope with them. An important rule that everyone needs to adopt is to always think about the positive.

Physical and breathing exercises

Even the ancients noted that “in a healthy body there is a healthy mind.” This is not surprising, because the body is the vessel of the soul. By strengthening one’s body, a person also increases his strength of spirit. It is not for nothing that a number of theological schools supplemented the training of their followers with physical exercise. First of all, it is appropriate to remember the Shaolin monks. In parallel with spiritual development, they improved their bodies, showing real miracles of physical and combat training.

But unlike most sports sections, the Shaolin monks practiced not only muscle development. An important part of their training is breathing exercises, since a person who has mastered his breathing is able to control almost all physiological functions of the body. One of the striking examples of such practice is the qigong technique, which came to us from Chinese culture.

Spiritual literature

Understanding the spiritual world requires the same knowledge as studying the surrounding reality. Reading special books helps you quickly tune in to perception and understand what actions you need to take on the path of your spiritual formation.

The choice of some leans in favor of the Holy Scriptures of the Abrahamic religions (Christianity, Islam, Judaism), others profess less well-known directions, even local cults. In any case, reading such literature increases the strength of the spirit, helping to connect to a certain information flow, which further provides them with support.

Meditation techniques

Unlike usual research work, this practice is directed “inward” and is based on deepening into one’s own. Supporters are confident that the human mind contains all the answers he needs, to obtain which there is no need to rush somewhere. It is enough to take a comfortable position and temporarily detach yourself from the world around you.

With regular practice, it is possible to enter a special altered state of consciousness, when a person clears his thoughts and completely relaxes his muscles (relaxation). A calm train of thought helps you look at familiar things differently, step away from the everyday hustle and bustle, thereby strengthening your fortitude.

One type of meditation is concentration on, when a person monotonously repeats a certain sound or phrase, literally putting himself into a state of trance. Other methods are known, including focusing on the heartbeat or breathing.

Good deeds

It's hard to come up with a better rule than doing good deeds. When something like this becomes fundamental in the process, the strength of the spirit increases to unprecedented heights. If a person strives to do good and help his neighbor, his connection with the forces of light strengthens. This does not mean that one cannot act in “undemocratic” ways. Even a show of strength can be appropriate when standing up for the weak and stopping injustice. Goodness should also be with fists, only use them exclusively in cases where it is impossible to do otherwise. In general, help can consist of a variety of actions, from giving alms to those in need to participating in a volunteer organization. Concern for the welfare of humanity is called philanthropy. Such people, strengthening their fortitude, also occupy a worthy place in society.

The ability to forgive

is one of the main reasons why spiritual strength can weaken. Grudgers, first of all, destroy themselves. This is true both on a mental level and from a physiological point of view. cause the release of stress hormones, which gradually destroy the body. To protect yourself from their negative influence, you just need to learn to forgive. This same technique helps strengthen the strength of the spirit. You should let go of all the grievances and disappointments of the past. The saying that the hatchet of war should be buried with the enemy is nothing more than humor. Very often, people offend not out of malice, but simply because they don’t know how to do otherwise. You should rather feel sorry for such people than be angry with them and hold a grudge. Sometimes, having learned to forgive, a person is surprised to discover that he has no enemies.

Strength of spirit is necessary for everyone, because with its development a person improves himself. This helps not only him to become better, but also to transform the surrounding reality. Spiritually rich people block the way for evil to enter this world, regardless of what they do: actively promote goodness, or retire to the mountains and meditate.

So, tell me, have you been interested in what a Real man should be like for a long time? What qualities should you have? How to look, what to do, what to feel. How long have you been researching this topic? I admit, I spent more than ten years of my life researching it. No, this is not bragging, just a statement of fact. But, you see, the period is quite decent.

The thing is that my father did not pass on much knowledge to me on this topic. And his personal example, alas, did not at all dispose me to imitate. Finding your place in this life, developing a style of behavior that is expected from a man and (most importantly) makes him happy - I had to implement all this myself. The place in society that I occupied then did not suit me. But, alas, I did not know how to rise to another level. And there was no one to ask. Now I think this is even good. Otherwise, if everything was handed to me on a silver platter - just watch and repeat, I would not have become what I am. A person who searches, finds and transmits knowledge valuable to men.

In general, for many years I asked myself questions and found answers to them myself.

And there were more than enough questions and answers. They appeared literally out of nowhere every day. But it’s worth noting that I found one answer much more often than the others. This is the answer to the question of what a Real man should have. What is the main quality, attribute? What is his most important character trait? From the lips of friends, acquaintances, girls and women, from the pages of magazines and books, one quality was most often mentioned that was always required of him, and without which a man has never been perceived by anyone, and will not be perceived as a man. The real one is his strength of mind.

Agree, a real man must have fortitude.

And there is nothing surprising or supernatural in this. After all, a man with a strong spirit is able to overcome the most difficult obstacles, achieve the most incredible goals, resist any vicissitudes of fate, and in general, such a man moves through life like an atomic icebreaker - when the goal is chosen, he breaks his way through unimaginable obstacles. Ice, storms, winds and storms. As if by inertia. If he chose a goal and began his movement towards it, we even understand at the level of instincts that all he needs is time. He will certainly cope with the task.

And this is one of the most important conclusions that I came to as a result of my searches.

A real man must be strong in spirit.

But, I admit, this conclusion was not enough for me. Because, in my opinion, this is not an answer, but only the beginning of a new question. A new question that sounds something like this: “Is fortitude an innate quality or an acquired one? And if not innate, then how can it be acquired and developed? . After all, admit it, if this quality of a man is transmitted exclusively by inheritance, then, on the one hand, there is no point in fluttering around and hoping for a better lot ( if you didn’t get a similar set of genes), and on the other hand, it’s stupid to strain yourself once again ( if you are lucky, and this quality will not go anywhere).

I found the answer to the first part of the question for myself immediately and forever. I didn’t want to live with the idea that some of the character traits I needed were exclusively innate. In recent years, I have lived and continue to live by the rule that I wrote about in my book “Masters of Illusions or Real Tools for Managing Your Own Life.” This rule is - " Believe only in what makes you stronger" I am sure you will share my opinion that the thought that I cannot do something will not make me stronger. And that’s why I don’t believe in it. Strength of spirit can be acquired. It remains to understand how.

Let me brag, this winter I started jogging every morning. To strengthen the body, fill it with energy, develop willpower and simply improve your well-being. At first I had difficulty covering 2 km. I got up, went out on the treadmill and did at most 4 laps of 500 meters. And, what a nightmare, even this was not easy for me. On the one hand, because my endurance was still low. On the other hand, people who prefer watching TV to sports constantly heard warnings in their heads that running in the morning is bad for the heart. In general, I woke up and ran with difficulty. But, fortunately, I didn’t quit.

After a few weeks I was already easily running 3-5 km. And a month later I began to truly enjoy long-distance running. At first it was 7 km, then 8, 9, 10, a little later 11. After 11, I planned to stop progress. Even without that, this figure frightened even me and made me feel genuine pride. This was more than all the guys I knew ran! But suddenly my friend Alexey Malmygin joined the process. In winter, we started morning runs together, but until now he had not been particularly keen to increase the distance he ran, and was quite satisfied with two kilometers. And then he got stuck. I can, but he can't. And one fine day he ran 15 km.

Agree, the distance is still the same. Especially for a person who six months ago considered 2000 meters a decent distance. But I was always happy about the passion of sports and was ready to take on any challenge thrown at me. And so, having prepared for 2 weeks, I ran 16 km. One kilometer more than his friend.

It was pretty hard. 16 km. - this is a third more than the previous record. It is difficult not only physically, but also psychologically. However, I was able not to give up, not to leave the race. And he was very proud of it.

And after another 2 weeks, Alexey ran 21 km.

Horrible! 21 km. - that's half the marathon distance! Doesn't this distance scare you? It scared the crap out of me. And it instilled genuine horror in my soul. What if I can’t? Will I get down to business and embarrass myself? Six months ago I was clutching my side after running 1.5 km. And here it’s 16 times more!

But I’m not used to losing, much less giving up. And so after a week I decided and ran 25 km.

My muscles and heels still ache even though it's been almost 10 days. But that's not what this is about. It's about something else. From this moment the most important thing begins. What I want to tell you about.

When I ran the twenty-second kilometer, my muscles stopped obeying me. I could hardly lift my legs. My throat is dry. And only one thought was spinning in my head - that's it, you've already run more than him, why run further, stop and rest!

Indeed, there seemed to be no more serious reasons to run further. And it was really difficult. But the fact is that I had to run more only because I DECIDED SO. I decided before going to the race. And so I kept running. To run, despite the fact that I had lost my physical strength and psychological incentives. I continued to run simply because I was determined to conquer this distance.

And when I got to the finish line, I understood. I understood what strength of spirit is. And how to train it.

Remember, physical strength is trained when we lift heavier and heavier weights. Endurance develops as we run longer and longer distances or do more and more repetitions. Accuracy, flexibility, coordination - any of our qualities develops only through steady progress and constant training. It’s the same with fortitude.

But unlike other qualities, fortitude cannot simply be loaded with weights or stretched on machines. Because it is not always clear in what exercises this fortitude works.

When I ran 25 km. I understood when it worked.

The strength of the spirit comes into play when all other forces - mental and physical - end. When all the resources from which we draw energy run out - finances, physical strength, emotional motivation. Internal and external incentives. Confidence based on past victories, etc. Strength of spirit begins to work only when there is no longer any strength, desire or resources to complete what is planned. When all that remains is the memory of the decision made. You simply remember your decision to do what you set out to do, and therefore you follow through with it. Against all odds.

If you are determined to develop fortitude, you don’t have to run a quarter of a hundred kilometers. This was relevant for me, but perhaps it will not bring any benefit to you. The best way to develop mental strength is to challenge yourself. Throwing a challenge or accepting it from another is not important. But it is important that the challenge you accept forces you to do something that previously seemed simply impossible to you. A challenge, to answer which you would have to mobilize and use every available resource to the last. EVERYTHING TO THE LAST AND A LITTLE BIT MORE. And then, when your strength runs out, when you exhaust all internal sources, at this (and only at this) moment you will have a choice - to refuse further movement towards the goal or to connect the last, your reserve resource - the power of the spirit. And then it will start working. The strength of spirit begins to work, train and develop.

What kind of challenge you will accept, decide for yourself. Perhaps it's another kilometer, as in my case. Perhaps this is another date with a girl who does not want to perceive you as a man and this is driving you to despair. Another danger in life. Another serious relationship. One more job. One more repetition of the bench press exercise. Another attempt to sell the product. Another day in business with no guaranteed income. Another attempt to make the woman I love happy. One more step after there is nothing left to force you to take it.

It is at this moment that you become stronger in spirit. It is at this moment that you develop your main quality. It is at this moment that you become a Real Man!

And at this moment it doesn’t even matter whether you achieve your goal. Can you get richer, make one more sale, get one more date, do one more rep on the bench press. It is important that you become stronger in spirit. Take this one step further. Take another step and become stronger in spirit.

That's all I would like to talk to you about. I wish you great challenges and amazing achievements.

People with strong character are often said to have willpower or fortitude. This trait allows a person to achieve his goals, regardless of any obstacles in life. Strength of spirit helps a person to withstand difficult situations. Therefore, the question of how to develop willpower is quite logical. But before doing anything, you should directly understand the very definition of the psychological concept of will.

From a psychological point of view

Will is one of the most difficult concepts to understand in psychology. But, despite this, in order to know how to develop willpower, it is necessary to clarify for yourself what willpower is. This concept is formulated differently in different sources, so you need to understand it intuitively. The psychology of will is related to the fact that human behavior and all activities are based not only on emotions and feelings. When making decisions, will is required. This means fortitude is a prerequisite for success.

According to its structure, human volitional behavior can be divided into the following stages:

• Decision-making;
• Implementation of plans.

In psychology, there are several types of will:

• Inviting or initiating. It is conscious decision making that helps you move towards your goals.
• Stabilizing. These are the efforts that a person needs to maintain his active activity.
• Brake. These are actions aimed at limiting the most powerful desires that prevent the achievement of a goal.

Psychologists say that the essential components of fortitude and willpower are:

• Desires, which are the motivation that discards everything secondary. They initially indicate to a person where to strive in order to achieve his goals.
• Belief in your own strength. It is this that allows you to move in the right direction to make your dream come true.
• Courage responsible for making important decisions. It gives impetus to the desire to realize your own desires.
• Determination, allowing you to make a choice in a timely manner without hesitation.
• Patience, which allows you to remain faithful to your goals and not give up, no matter what.
• Discipline. It forces a person to make decisions in accordance with the rules and norms of society.

Development

Strength of spirit guarantees a person’s determination and organizes his life. Therefore, the question of how to develop willpower is not idle. Without such a character trait it is impossible to become a successful person. Strength of spirit makes a person free and independent. He becomes an active member of society, and the ability to self-regulate makes him resistant to negative external circumstances. When faced with obstacles on the way to a goal, a person is able to make the right decision about whether to choose a different way to achieve what he wants or increase efforts to overcome the obstacles that have arisen.

The question of how to develop willpower often arises in people during difficult periods of life. But it does not apply to complex dilemmas. This is due to the fact that every person has the desire to become strong by nature itself. As a result, when wondering how to cultivate willpower in yourself, you should not immediately resort to the first exercises and trainings you come across. Initially, formulate for yourself what fortitude is in your understanding. Then evaluate how this character trait can affect your life.

If after this the desire to learn how to train willpower or how to strengthen willpower does not disappear, then in order to tune in to effective work on yourself, follow these steps:

• State your goals briefly and precisely in writing. Analyze each goal and predict how much faster you will be able to achieve your goal if the willpower training is successful and you learn to overcome yourself.
• Write down those traits of your own character that the development of will will allow you to modify. It doesn’t matter how many shortcomings you plan to get rid of, the main thing is to take them all into account. If you know how to develop mental strength, you will be able to successfully overcome them in the shortest possible time.

This approach will allow you to better understand what willpower represents in your particular case and how to develop and strengthen it.

Types of training

If you are interested in how to strengthen your fortitude, you must first of all understand that for a long time you will need to make certain efforts every day, without doing yourself any favors. You can train willpower with special exercises, which are as follows:

• In keeping a diary. It is necessary to record your plans and monitor their implementation. Planning will ensure greater efficiency in the life process and will help cultivate commitment. You should not note your own achievements in a diary.
• In developing the habit of acting purposefully. To do this, strive to observe all your actions, as if from the outside. The development of willpower involves an objective assessment of one’s own actions. You cannot exaggerate your achievements and flatter yourself. Any failure should become an incentive to successfully take the next step.
• In getting rid of the desire to fight and destroy. A trained will makes a person transform and build. To do this, learn to treat your own mistakes strictly, but always wisely. This will allow you to develop the strong-willed side of your character associated with the desire to become better.
• In the correct formulation of tasks, taking into account the fact that you need to move from simple to complex. Strengthening character cannot be associated with the desire to embrace the immensity.

In addition, among character-strengthening methods, you can focus on the fact that you need to strive to make real promises to yourself. Moreover, they must be fulfilled. This will teach you to keep your word given to other people.

It is also important to train yourself to never quit something you start. It must be brought to its logical conclusion, even in cases where enthusiasm has disappeared or an understanding of the meaninglessness of the activity has come. In this situation, you need to take a little rest and wait until your “second wind” opens. The habit of giving up what you start has a detrimental effect on a person and quickly stops his further development.

Understanding the question of what willpower is, you need to realize that this character trait is incompatible with laziness. Not wanting to do anything is a serious hindrance. Laziness can destroy a person’s will and force him to give up his most cherished desires. Therefore, the strengthening of character developed during training is always associated with the fight against laziness. To do this, it is recommended to praise yourself for any overcoming. You need to force yourself to enjoy even the smallest positive result in your activity. When doing difficult or unpleasant work, never regret it. Discard even the thought that your hobby or communication with friends would be much more enjoyable for you.

An effective way is self-hypnosis. It is only very important to use specific incentives for this. For example, during the auto-training process, prepare yourself for the fact that you are quite capable of achieving your goals. Remember that thanks to a strong character, each of us can become the manager of our own strengths, which are given to us by nature. In other words, this will allow a person to become the master of his own destiny.

Hello, dear friends!

We often oppress ourselves for our mistakes, saying: “I absolutely lack fortitude!” What kind of power is this? How is it connected to our sense of self? With giving up bad habits, countless promises to start life anew? How to train fortitude?

I would like to address these questions in today’s article, and also introduce you to several exercises for leveling up a new, improved skill.

The core of a person, his inner power and potential are closely related to self-control and awareness. Like any muscle in our body, it requires pumping and training to strengthen and harden.

Dumbbells are suitable for triceps, and the ability to quickly write SMS is suitable for thumbs. In the case of self-control, the situation is similar. Filling the physical and spiritual vessels must occur in a comprehensive manner.

Who is this strong-willed man? Firstly, this is a person who knows exactly where she is going and where her route is from. Such a person was able to realize his true purpose and was not accustomed to waste his time on trifles.

Secondly, he confidently achieves one goal after another, while simultaneously helping other people who met on his thorny path. Such an individual loves to win in a battle with himself and circumstances. His reactions to what is happening nearby are always positive, because he is convinced that negativity is a destructive emotion.

Willpower plays a decisive role in the development of a person. She is able to heal an individual and protect him from fears, experiences of the past and, of course, from self-pity for his loved one. The code of a strong-willed person is based on these three pillars. And I would like to write about this in more detail.

The first rule for developing iron fortitude is to overcome fear!

If you delve deeply into your subconscious, you can safely come to the conclusion that most of our fears are imaginary. People often fear what has not yet happened or what has already happened, denying the fact of accepting the situation.

There are also real fears. But what's the point of running away from them? The fear that we have looked into the eyes of ceases to be a kind of monster under the bed for us. We completely control him and surpass him after such an intimate acquaintance.

But fear, which we avoid in every possible way, can really destroy us. I invite you to say goodbye to all illusory and real fears today! To do this, you need to decide to get rid of the ill-wisher and create a list of frightening aspects in life.

Opposite each point, write down the most terrible option for the plot development and the most promising. Think carefully about the situation. What do you choose, live. as before or put an end to this list of problems and move on with your head held high?

The second rule for developing iron fortitude is to stop feeling sorry for yourself!

Thinking that life is not fair and full of negativity is stupid. This puts into your mind the idea that you have absolutely no control over what is happening. And this is scary and relates to the first rule.

Self-pity and resentment towards the Universe bring nothing except devastation, destruction and lack of self-respect. It forces you to follow the same route for years.

Allow yourself to break out into light, freedom and faith in an optimistic future created with your own hands! Get rid of grudges against people. In the case where it has accumulated under the heart, and in some cases, is buried there, no forward movement is expected.

Forgive loved ones, acquaintances and friends. Practice strengthening your willpower through actions, not empty words. Get rid of the accumulated rubbish of feelings with a call, explanation or meeting. This is how you will speed up your “recovery”.

The third rule for developing iron fortitude is to let go of the past!

The desire to cling to one’s native swamp is understandable and common to many. This is better than emptiness. Familiar feeling, right? Understand that for change to occur, you need to train endurance.

By letting go of the past, no matter what it was, good or bad, you open up to new and fresh flows of energy, filling your spiritual vessel. You should not live with regrets about lost happiness, about possible ups or fateful meetings.

It is this action that takes away the supply of vitality and makes you give up faith in a successful and bright future. Live for today, realizing the full share of responsibility and the colossal number of opportunities before your eyes!

How to strengthen your mental strength?

1. Environment

How do we strengthen the physical shell of our soul? That's right, exercise, proper nutrition and attention. Caring for the spiritual should be built in a similar way.

A person who wants to be strong in spirit usually understands what role the people with whom he interacts play in his life. Don’t waste time on those who are sincerely trying to pull you back by assuring you that nothing will work out!

2. Warm up

Building strength with exercise " I will!"Excellently stimulates achievement motivation and works with willpower. Try to come up with a daily ritual for yourself. Practice creating a positive habit, such as five minutes of meditation every morning.

Before the exercise, say the phrase “ I do this with pleasure and to strengthen my spirit." The muscular system of self-control involves the use of willpower on a daily basis. It is this skill that will harden you in all strong-willed rounds.
