Today we asked you to tell us about how to develop your will. I believe that self-discipline is a manifestation of our will, that is, mental activity in achieving any goal we have set. Now I’ll bore you a little)) But if you remember from the psychology course, then the will, as a mental process, is involved not only in regulation many mental functions, such as memory, attention, thinking, speech, but also in increasing human motivation. And when a person develops strong-willed qualities, he is able to consciously set himself the most difficult tasks, goals, plans and overcome them. And the essence here is very simple, that thanks to the development of will, a person overcomes many harmful factors, for example, alcohol, smoking and others addictions, destructive thoughts, toxic relationships and other bad habits that destroy it. I highlight several basic strong-willed qualities such as persistence, endurance, determination, self-control. To be honest, a person, in my opinion, is such an instinctive-reflex creature that he is constantly overcome by laziness , self-pity, I want to be a sad piece of shit, discuss others, but sit in my comfort zone and do nothing. And without the formation of volitional processes, in my opinion, a person cannot develop systematically. Because the process of development itself is always associated with overcoming internal and external obstacles, difficulties, patience with discomfort, the ability to use delayed satisfaction of one’s needs, which is how endurance, self-control and endurance are formed. The text may be a little complicated due to the terms, but don’t scold the pianist plays as best he can))). Thus, will turns out to be a synthetic characteristic of our personality or, in essence, it is the practical side of the realization of consciousness. As my beloved I.P. said. Pavlov - that man is the only system capable of higher self-regulation. It is very important to note here that the volitional actions that a person performs essentially subordinate (or put them in order) the satisfaction of our and lower needs. Therefore, without will, we are in some way similar to animals)), since we would not have formed socially determined norms of needs, ethics, morality, culture, creativity, science, art, and other activities. So that’s what I mean lead), to the fact that you need to accustom yourself to self-discipline (no matter how old you are) in order to consciously regulate, plan, set goals, develop in your life, find a new horizon of opportunities, open up new experiences, and in general build your life efficiently, reasonably and carefully (remembering its transience). And also do not suffer from depression and neuroses. How do you develop your will?
