Will is the conscious management of one's behavior, the ability to mobilize forces to overcome difficulties on the way to the goal. The will can be strong or weak, which is determined by the motives of behavior, the person's experience, his habits and beliefs. The specificity of the volitional mental process consists in the conscious effort of a person, which is aimed at activating all his capabilities to achieve the goal. And since the will is an important psychological prerequisite for successful activity, it is important to educate it in yourself correctly.
Instructions
Step 1
First you need to clearly define your motivation. Each volitional action can be divided into two stages: the preparatory stage and the executive stage. At the preparatory stage, the goal is realized, the ways and means of achieving the goal are determined and a decision is made. At the executive stage, the decision is implemented.
Step 2
It is important to realize the availability of the goal. Setting goals that a given person is not able to achieve weakens his will and creates a habit of not completing the work begun to the end. In turn, easily accessible goals do not develop willpower and do not develop the ability to deal with difficulties, overcome obstacles. The goals of action must be accessible to a person, but require a lot of effort to achieve them.
Step 3
Take a piece of paper and a pen. Divide it into two columns. Name the left column “What do I want?” And the right column “What am I doing for this?”. Fill in the resulting table. Analyze it and complete it with a pencil in the column "What am I doing for this?" those options for action that can help you get things done. Those. which are missing in your opinion. Pencil writing will be considered stimulating steps that will serve as an effective way for you to develop your will.
Step 4
Alternatively, you can try to familiarize yourself with various motivating literature, which can be found both on the shelves in bookstores and on the Internet. You can provide yourself with watching such videos. For example, a movie called "The Secret". This will cheer you up and give you more energy to achieve the volitional process.
Step 5
Do not forget to delight and encourage yourself when you succeed in something. For example, going to a restaurant or cinema, buying new clothes, etc. This is very important for your emotional state.
Step 6
Surely there are people in your environment who have achieved very great heights. Their behavior, lifestyle can serve as an example for you. Watch them. Write down what may help you in your notebook, and re-read your notes periodically.
Step 7
You can start practicing meditation. It will inspire you and help you build willpower. In the process of meditation, your thinking will begin to change in a positive direction, which will have a very beneficial effect on the achievement of your goal, creating effective motivation.
Step 8
Every day people go to a new start, start with a clean slate, which they are free to paint as they wish. It is not simple. But one fine day, having done a lot of work on yourself, you will understand that your efforts were not in vain.
