Willpower

Spiritual Practice: Willpower is strengthened through exercising your will. Pick something difficult that you want to do. The willpower it takes to accomplish it will increase your personal power, or more accurately, will get you in tune with the power that is latent within you.

Spiritual Practice: Pick a routine task and use your willpower to do it quicker than you ever have before. This takes concentration and will, both of which are strengthened through exercising them. Not only that, but it gives you more time to do the things you enjoy more.

Spiritual Practice: Pick a spiritual practice such as meditation or study and determine to make it a habit. Creating that habit not only takes willpower but also strengthens your willpower.

Spiritual Practice: Whenever you feel you can’t do something that you really need or want to do, affirm: “I can do anything. The power of the universe is behind me, ever ready to flow through me." Then use your willpower to accomplish it.

Spiritual Practice: Affirm regularly: “I can be what I will to be."

Spiritual Practice: Make a resolution to do something to better yourself over the next week. Be in integrity with yourself and follow through on that resolution. The willpower required to do this will strengthen you to take on more difficult resolutions.

Spiritual Practice: Do without something for a day or two that you think you can’t live without: a particular food, TV, a bad habit. Make it doable but difficult—not so difficult that you won’t succeed, however. Replace it with something else that might be more healthful for your body and mind. For example, substitute spiritual study and meditation for TV, or fruit for a sugary dessert. Prove to yourself that you have the willpower to follow through. As your willpower develops, try more difficult accomplishments.
