It is quite easy to imagine a strong person. Powerful physique, big muscles, confident look. But do these signs always prove real strength? And what is this inner strength that you can hear about very often? Does it match the impressive appearance? Can a physically less developed person be stronger than a superior opponent? In what cases does a person’s inner strength manifest itself? Is it possible to develop it, or is it an innate quality that is inherited? Let's try to understand this issue.
Manage your emotions
Your emotions are a huge charge of energy and only you decide in which direction to direct it. First of all, you need to learn to recognize emotions. If you experience irritation, anger, or resentment, you must remember that they are destructive. These emotions should be aimed at solving problems, and in no case should they be suppressed within you or thrown out on the people around you. Emotions such as joy, happiness, love are creative in nature, they help well in releasing creative potential.
How does inner strength arise?
A person’s inner strength does not depend on his external power, but does not exclude it. After all, for any strength, there is always more strength. And in the event of a collision with it, it is precisely the inner strength that manifests itself.
Of course, it is easier to defeat a weaker opponent. But we all know examples when a small but “spiritual” person emerges victorious from a fight with someone clearly larger than him. Why is this happening? Apparently he is more confident in himself and this confidence is transferred to the enemy, literally disarming him. According to the principle of the textbook Moska, who strikes terror into all the local elephants.
There are five main components that make up a person’s inner strength:
- Strength of spirit is the core of personality;
- Life energy is everything that is necessary for life;
- Willpower is an internal reserve that opens up during difficulties;
- Self-control - the ability to control your body and thoughts;
- Mental energy – emotional and mental stability.
Their interaction determines how strong a person will be in a given situation, therefore it is very important to pay attention to the development of each of these components.
Strength of spirit is the ability to take responsibility for your life on yourself. It determines a person’s determination, character and assertiveness. It develops both through physical self-development and spiritual self-improvement.

Vital energy implies the necessary resources for activity. All processes occurring in the body require energy. It is replenished by the nutrients we consume. After all, we are made up of what we eat.
Willpower is the ability to move towards a goal, despite all obstacles and difficulties. It becomes stronger in the fight against its weaknesses, fears and stereotypes. Daily work on yourself is the best way to strengthen your strong-willed qualities.
Self-control allows you not to lose control of yourself in any situation. Inner strength is based on inner calm and composure. It is necessary to develop the skill of self-control by leaving your inner comfort zone. After all, this quality manifests itself only in unusual situations.
Mental energy is a person’s emotional stability, his ability to control his psyche, especially its darkest corners. Strengthening the mind is no less important than exercising to develop strength, endurance or agility.
Second wind - have you heard of this?
Let's give an example that is familiar to everyone - an athlete is approaching the finish line and it would seem that he no longer has any strength to run, but then suddenly he seems to get a “second wind” and now he is already at the goal. The funny thing is that this practice works exactly the same in everyday life. If you develop perseverance and perseverance, no matter what you don’t give up (in solving problems, achieving success, in love, in your career, etc.), a source of inner strength will open to you. You will be surprised to see what you are capable of. The main thing is to believe in yourself and your strengths. Every person is capable of this. By your intention you will open backup sources. But once you decide to give up, then so be it. Everyone receives according to their faith.
What is inner strength?
Inner strength is fortitude, a set of strong-willed qualities that allow one to overcome various life difficulties. Accordingly, it manifests itself in stressful cases, when a person, feeling that he cannot control the situation, still continues to act “in character.”
This quality literally gives people superhuman abilities, allowing them to go where even six-foot bouncers would break. Inner strength does not depend on a person’s age, gender or other parameters.
It can manifest itself in anyone, the main thing is not to suppress it. The main factors that suppress the development of internal strength can be considered bad habits, complexes, negative attitudes, stress, fears, grievances, worries and fatigue.
Take a temperament test
Stand out
If you want to become a person of strong character, you will have to work hard. Not everyone can stand out from the crowd. Now we're not talking about purple hair and piercings in all sorts of places.
Stand out with your mind, your ideas. Don't be afraid to try new things, offer something that no one has done before. Mediocre people live mediocre lives. If you are not happy with this life, get out of your comfort zone and move forward.
Avoiding “energy vampires”
It is not known for sure whether “eaters” of human energy exist. But one thing is clear - a certain individual after contact with different people has conflicting feelings.
For example: after chatting with a saleswoman in a store, the mood improved, but after exchanging a few words with the conductor on the bus, the positive mood disappeared. The best option: meet more with the first type of people, and limit communication with the second.
Remove what makes you weaker
Every person has their own weak points. Someone is too dependent on other people's opinions and is afraid to change their life. Someone does not have a sufficient level of education and is denied an interview at the company where he has always dreamed of working.
It is important to understand your inner world. Answer the question: what makes you weak? Make a list and start getting rid of it. Work on yourself, don't expect it to be easy. It may take you much longer than you expected, but don't give up.
Spend money on yourself
Don't be afraid to invest in yourself. Buy yourself what you have dreamed of for so long. Let it be an expensive phone or a branded dress. You will feel a surge of strength and joy from the fact that your little dream has come true.
You will want to take action to achieve other goals. Do not spare money on education and development. Sign up for foreign language courses and attend trainings. There you will meet successful people who will inspire you with their example, and receive a lot of new and useful information.
Set a small goal every day and achieve it
It was already noted above that the goal is worth working on. If you think: “I want to live in my own house,” you are unlikely to ever achieve what you want.
If you draw up a detailed plan, write down how much money you will need and where you will get it: will you build it yourself or buy a ready-made option. If you work out the plan down to the smallest detail, find out where to start and follow it, you are guaranteed success.
This is just an example, you may have other desires and goals. It is important that you take a step towards your dream every day, whether it be an ideal figure, a brilliant career or your own business.
Strive to help others
If you feel helpless, know that changing this condition is incredibly easy! Just find someone you can help. Any activity in this direction is welcome. This could be anything from volunteering or volunteering for a non-profit organization to mentoring (training someone) for free. By the way, sharing personal experience is considered a form of charity.
Whatever you decide to do, make sure it brings value to the other person. You will immediately feel encouraged by the fact that you can serve the world. But there is one significant limitation: you cannot impose! Provide support only to those who are looking for it.
helping hand
By helping others, you will also awaken your own healing powers. Which will surely benefit your friends and you too. Read more about this in the prana yoga section.
Change your appearance for the better
A successful person must look the part. Play sports, fight excess weight, pay attention to your appearance.
When you are healthy, beautiful, slim, you will immediately feel how your feelings have changed. You will feel confident and ready for new achievements.
In vain, many people think that appearance is not the main thing. Everyone knows the old truth: “People meet people by their clothes...”. She's still working. A woman in a beautiful dress, heels, hair and makeup is much more confident than an unmade-up person in stretched sweatpants.
A man in an expensive suit with a good hairstyle looks (and more importantly, feels) confident; he knows that he can cope with all the obstacles that come his way.
Tap into your Inner Spirit
To tap into what mystics call the “inner observer” or “super-ego,” you need to meditate daily and try to gain awareness in the everyday. Have you ever thought about how many actions you perform every day “automatically”, simply out of habit? Eastern mystics recommend a conscious approach to any routine process, for example, washing dishes or brushing your teeth.
At the end of the day, close your eyes and take the most relaxed position possible. It is advisable to be in a quiet place. Direct your thoughts inward, dive deep into yourself. After a couple of minutes, various fragmentary images will begin to appear in your mind. Don't try to control them or interpret them in any way: just watch!
By repeating this exercise regularly, you will be able to delve deeper and deeper into your mind, improve your clarity of perception, and get closer and closer to finding your inner spiritual power. If this technique seems too simple and ineffective to you, then go to the meditation section and choose an exercise to your liking.
Find your hero
First, think about what kind of person could become an example for you?
Find such a person. This could be someone from your circle or a well-known person. It all depends on your life goals. If you want to develop in sports, look for an example in this area. If you want to become teacher of the year, look at those who have already achieved it.
Take the best from this person: image, communication style, methods of achieving goals. Nobody encourages you to blindly copy the image of the person you like and pretend to be something that you are not.
But, if this person has achieved certain heights, it means he is going the right way. Take advantage of his knowledge and experience. Read the interview, study the biography, if possible, talk to him.
