Strength of mind is one of the most delightful phenomena of human nature, defying either logical explanations or generally accepted standards and norms. Let's talk about what it is, what it is for, and whether it can be developed and strengthened.
What it is?
There are many myths and legends, parables and legends about heroes with fortitude, many books have been written. Ancient philosophers in their treatises more than once argued about the origin and essence of this concept. Modern psychology also pays special attention to the strength of the spirit in the study of the subtleties of the soul. Scientists from different scientific fields do not abandon their attempts to explore the full depth of this mysterious side of the human mind. But when touching on this topic, it becomes important not so much the definition and meaning of the word and term as the very fact of the real existence of this invisible facet of human consciousness.

There are many different forces in nature. Physics studies force of attraction, pushing, friction, elasticity, gravity... And what powers does a person have? Of course, physical strength - it plays an important role in our life. But is she the only one that makes us strong? But what if nature has not endowed someone with the strength of the body? Moreover, a person may be born with some kind of physical disabilities, and his capabilities will be limited. And when we learn about those people who, despite the lack of ample physical capabilities, overcome their problems and achieve what it would seem impossible to achieve, then we understand that we are talking about another strength of man - about the strength of his spirit.
She manifests not only for people with disabilitiesfor example, people with disabilities from birth, or those who have acquired a disability during their life. It is found in a wide variety of people and under a variety of circumstances.... People show heroism in the course of various hostilities and conflicts, they survive in captivity and in difficult conditions. They save themselves and save others in extreme situations, in natural disasters. They fight against serious illnesses or help their loved ones fight them. They endure terrible losses and blows of fate, experience hunger and pain, fear and horror, physical injury and violence. You can list a lot and for a long time.
And those who, after such trials, remain human, do not lose their best qualities and continue to move forward, can be called the owners of the most powerful unbending strength of mind.

What happens?
In science, there are many formulas for calculating and calculating natural forces. Like the physical strength of people, they can be measured using various instruments. But there are no such formulas and instruments that could catch, fix and measure the strength of a person's spirit. It can only be seen in the behavior and actions of specific real people, not fictional by the artistic fantasy of writers. She can only be sincerely admired, showered with a variety of bright epithets. What is the strength of the spirit? It can be invincible, huge, colossal, great, unshakable, indestructible, unbending, exceptional, amazing, incredible, amazing, amazing, unparalleled, iron, all-conquering.

Let us consider in more detail each of the conditions that develop the strength of the spirit.
Controlling internal energies
The concept of human inner energies is found in all peoples of the world and in all cultures. Since ancient times, people have understood that there are certain forces that make a person live and move forward, no matter what. There are other destructive forces that prevent a person from living normally. There are many different theories and opinions on this matter. The concept of internal energies is considered both from a medical point of view in the context of the physiology of the human body, and from the point of view of all religions of the world from the perspective of the divine principle in man. And from the standpoint of astrology and communication with the stars and space. And even from the point of view of mysticism - white and black magicians, for their part, explain the nature of human inner energies.
But whoever and no matter how imagined them, it is obvious that they really exist, and in life a lot depends on them.

To develop and strengthen the strength of the spirit, you need to learn to control your internal energies, the very first and most understandable of which are the energy of good and the energy of evil. To do this, you need to get rid of the negativity within yourself, from craving for the negative side of life, from the desire for the bad and base, including bad habits that pull a person to the bottom and contribute to personality degradation, not to waste your resources on meaningless and empty activities. You need to set yourself lofty goals and strive for them through a positive approach. Only in this way can a person's spirit become stronger, and life will be filled with meaning and joy.

Positive thinking
Recently, it has become fashionable to say that if you learn to think positively and look at the world, then life gets better, and all problems disappear almost by themselves. Is it really? There is an expression that everything in life comes back like a boomerang. Perhaps this is both wisdom and truth. What a person gets from life depends on the thoughts, feelings and actions of a person.
The energy (positive or negative) that a person directs from himself to the outside world, reflected in it, like in a mirror, returns to the person back. We can say that this is the law of nature - good begets good, evil begets evil. And those who want to strengthen their spirit need to learn positive thinking.

Physical and breathing exercises
Since ancient times, the human body has been called the vessel of the soul. For the soul to be strong, the body must be healthy. One of the important principles on which the teachings of the Tibetan monks are based is that only he is strong in spirit who is able to control his body. By increasing physical endurance, a person thereby increases the strength of the spirit. And in achieving this goal, the strong-willed side of the human character plays an important role. The presence of will helps a person to overcome his laziness and achieve results in sports.
But you should not equate the strength of spirit and willpower, these are different concepts.

You need to improve your body not only with the help of physical exercises, but also with the help of breathing practices.... The same monks of Tibet argue that only a person who controls his breath can control his body. One of the most famous and effective techniques that originated in Chinese culture is qigong. It is aimed at improving the body, cleansing the mind and strengthening the spirit.

Spiritual literature
Wanting to strengthen the strength of the spirit, it is important for a person not only work on physical health, your worldview and mood, but it is also important to develop your mind, replenish your knowledge. In solving this problem, books come to the aid of a person. Reading spiritual literature can provide answers to various questions, help to understand internal contradictions, and reveal many truths.
Such sources of knowledge can be different literature: religious, philosophical, artistic, biographies of real people who have great fortitude and have shown it in different life circumstances. Each person is free to choose according to his taste. But the more we fill our mind with knowledge, the higher the level of our spiritual development rises and the wider the horizons of life become for us.... This means that our spirit has something to nourish its strengths.

Meditation techniques
Another way to strengthen your spirit is through meditation. When you read various literature and want to know something, your forces are directed to external sources. Meditation means going inward, into your subconscious, into the depths of your mind. People who practice such ways of knowing their essence argue that the human subconscious contains answers to all questions that interest him.
To do this, you need to learn how to relax as much as possible, abstract from the external fuss and immerse yourself deeply in your thoughts.

With a regular approach to such activities, a person manages to clear his mind of unnecessary empty thoughts and tune in to a calm and constructive course of thought. Thus, you can give yourself the opportunity to consider what is troubling, differently and without excitement, from different points of view, and solve the problem correctly, without destructive emotions. Or, with the help of meditation, you can simply give your body and mind a rest from all problems and worries. This method will undoubtedly contribute to the development of fortitude.

Good deeds
There is such a thing as philanthropy. it philanthropy, which allows people to do charity work, help those in need, patronize those who need it. Good deeds are charity to the poor, volunteering, helping the elderly, and much more. Nothing in the world makes a person more human than good deeds. Well, who else on earth can boast of such a skill?
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/thumb/715-0/2019/12/sila-duha-chto-eto-takoe-i-kak-razvit-1.jpeg)
Good deeds can only be performed by a strong-minded person - a weak person is incapable of the disinterested and generous gift of a particle of his soul. And here the principle of climbing a spiral staircase works: a strong-minded person commits a good deed, this deed allows him to climb higher on the steps and become even stronger. Having become stronger, a person has the opportunity to do good again, thereby rising again. And so circle after circle in a spiral, higher and stronger.

Ability to forgive
Anger, rage, anger, resentment, rancor deprive a person of fortitude, make him weak. In addition to the fact that these feelings throw a lot of negativity and negative energy into the world around them, they also destroy the person himself from the inside and denigrate his soul. This phenomenon can be fully explained from a physiological point of view: when a person experiences negative emotions, a powerful release of stress hormones begins in his body. To avoid this, you need to learn to control your emotions. One of the tools for this control is the ability to forgive. By learning sincere forgiveness, you will curb the flow of evil, preventing it from spreading and engulfing everyone around you.
Such a skill will certainly give a huge resource of strength to your spirit and help make the world around you better and brighter, and people kinder.
