Every day life provides us with new opportunities for training willpower. You just need to take a close look at these "lessons of fate" and not give in to the chance to say goodbye to your weak character.
Instructions
Step 1
I don't want to, but I will
The most powerful will-building exercise is doing work that is of little interest to you and, on the contrary, refraining from activities that bring you special pleasure. Such volitional acts greatly develop strength of character. Even an uninteresting task must be performed carefully, conscientiously, completely devoting to action.
Step 2
Goal setting
Start setting achievable goals and always follow through on what you started. Learn to enjoy the process and enjoy even small achievements. Gradually increase the level of tasks and do your best to complete them.
Step 3
Follow the regimen
Do not give yourself indulgence in the execution of your plans. Wake up at your scheduled time the night before and don't let feelings of laziness take over your schedule.
Step 4
The great power of self-hypnosis
In your actions, words, and even thoughts, act as if the qualities you want to possess are already part of your character. Act as if you are already who you want to become.
Step 5
Don't be sprayed on little things
Don't waste time and energy indulging in bad habits - giving up on them is a very significant step towards gaining a strong will. While doing something, do not get distracted by trifles - concentrate on completing the task completely and completely.
Step 6
No cheating
Lying is a powerful barrier to willpower. By deceiving others, in the end you yourself begin to unconsciously believe your lies. By throwing wood into the flame of untruth, you thus contribute to the development of a very bad quality, which will ultimately negatively affect all your volitional efforts.
Step 7
Keep yourself together
Practice restraint - don't get angry when someone provokes you into aggression. Be silent if you don't feel like or have nothing to say. Don't fall for a tempting dessert if you're not hungry at all.
Step 8
Philosophy of everyday life
Practice strength of character in your daily life - pay attention to your gait, behavior, manner of speaking, and facial expressions. Physics and psyche are inextricably linked, therefore, by bringing a little confidence into your daily actions, you thus lay an indestructible foundation for the formation of an iron will.
