9 ways to build your inner strength
9 Powerful Ways to Build Your Inner Strength While there is plenty of information on how to become bigger, faster, and stronger, there is less available on how to increase one's inner strength. However, in today’s world, inner strength is far more important than physical strength. In our current culture, the ability to manage yourself is more relevant than the ability to lift 500 pounds over your head. The ability to persevere is more valuable than doing 1,000 push-ups. Life is easier to manage when your inner strength grows. Luckily, you can develop greater inner strength without spending a dime of your money or a minute of your time. Use these strategies to create greater inner strength and watch your obstacles fall: 1. Complain less. When you complain, it shows that you don’t believe you influence your life. It convinces some part of you that you’re weak. * If you can fix the situation, do so. If you can’t, deal with it. 2. Finish what you start. One “easy” way to build inner strength is to finish what you start. For example, if you signed up for 20 personal training sessions, finish them all. If you start organizing your office, complete the task. * We’re always starting tasks and then finding an excuse to finish them tomorrow. Finish them today, instead. 3. Fast for 24 hours. Physicians that run fasting clinics state that the average, healthy adult can go six weeks without food. There was a time in the past when many humans regularly didn’t have the luxury of eating each day, much less 3 meals a day, or a second breakfast. * Go 24 hours without consuming any calories. Nothing but water for a day. 4. Take a cold shower or bath. Hot showers and baths are a pleasure. Cold showers and baths aren’t that appealing. Teach yourself to be comfortable with physical discomfort. You’ll even save a little money by using less hot water! 5. Set a 30-day challenge and stick to it. Start with something easy and make it more challenging each day. * An easy challenge might be to go for a walk each day. A more difficult challenge might be to avoid all processed foods for 30-days, or to meditate for 60 minutes each day.
