What are the ways to exercise a person's will?

Will is not born. Youth is a period when the quality of will is gradually formed and shaped, and it is also a period of great plasticity. Therefore, it is of great significance to cultivate good will quality for college students to keep healthy psychology.

First, set lofty ideals and set appropriate goals.

Lev. Tolstoy said that ideal is the guiding light. Without ideal, there is no secure direction, and without direction, there is no life. The ancients also said: "If a gentleman takes it far away, he must rely on it; Be patient when you are older. "Great ideals and clear goals are the premise for students to cultivate strong will.

Of course, the establishment of ideals and goals should be correct, meaningful and in line with the requirements of social development. It must also be combined with practical study and work. Only by transforming ideals into real life and becoming a guide to action can the will develop. If it is only a mirage fantasy or an unrealistic goal without action, then the ideal is fantasy, the goal is nominal, and the cultivation of will is just empty talk.

Second, pay attention to scientific methods and follow the law of gradual progress.

There are many stories praising perseverance and diligence in the history of our country. For example, "people's heads are hanging from the beam", "the cone is biting to the bone", "sleeping and drinking" and "fools move mountains". From a modern point of view. Although his spirit is commendable, his method is unscientific and violates the principle of mental health. Some students follow the example of the ancients and force themselves to work overtime for their studies and exercise their will. Some methods of will exercise (such as relying on simple external physical stimulation) violate the laws of physical and mental development and exercise, and are forced to act recklessly. On the contrary, it makes people tired, damages their health, affects their study and is of no help to others. Therefore, the use of will should be based on healthy goals and scientific methods.

Exercise will, but also pay attention to step by step. As the saying goes, you can't get fat in one bite. In order to achieve a certain goal, some students abuse their willpower and force themselves to do things beyond their physical and mental reality. For example, a weak female classmate wants to exercise and set herself how many kilometers to run every day. Two days later, she became ill. "Haste makes waste". Therefore, when tempering the will, we should pay attention to choosing a breakthrough and step by step. You can arrange your goals step by step. When a goal is completed, it is a positive feedback for individuals, which can increase self-confidence, thus more actively completing the next goal and entering a virtuous circle. In this way, the behavior of will gradually strengthens into the habit of will, and then slowly solidifies into a quality of will and becomes a good personality characteristic.

Third, participate in social practice and insist on starting from small things.

Will quality is a relatively stable psychological quality formed in people's long-term social practice and social life, which is embodied in people's practice of mobilizing their own strength to overcome difficulties and setbacks. In normal life, study, labor, collective activities and social practice all require will efforts, and the cultivation of individual will is contained in it. Some students lamented that they were born at an untimely time. Without big waves, they could not show their true colors and neglected the cultivation of their will in their daily lives and trivial matters. In fact, the cultivation and exercise of a person's will is not limited to setbacks, difficulties and adversity. Sometimes, "the perseverance of success is more important than the perseverance of failure." The realm of "wealth can't be lewd, poverty can't be moved, and power can't be bent" is the complete embodiment of willpower.

Small things in daily life, as big as hard and important work, are opportunities to hone your will. Especially physical exercise, is an effective means to exercise the will. Sports is not only a physical exercise process, but also a comprehensive process of psychological and will training. Normal students can participate in physical exercise consciously, regularly and actively, and can cultivate strong, brave, witty, hard-working and persistent will quality and spirit.

Fourth, we should be prepared to endure hardships and carry forward the spirit of persistence.

The process of achieving great things is the process of tempering the will, and the process of tempering the will is also a process of hard work and perseverance. Efforts are not only physical, but also spiritual. Many great men have experienced countless disasters and encountered many setbacks. Thanks to their invincible spirit and indomitable will, they finally succeeded. Some modern students cannot accept the challenge of hard life because of its superior environment; Some students want to make a difference, but they are unwilling to work hard, and have no sense of "cost" and "input"; There are also some students who feel that they should be rewarded with a little effort and are unwilling to stick to it. Such a person is hard to do. Like Calvin? Coolidge warned: Nothing in the world can replace perseverance. "Talent" doesn't work. The most common thing is people who have "talent" but are unsuccessful; Genius is not enough, and unrequited geniuses can almost always hear it; Education is not good. Many people in the world are educated, but they can't be loyal to their duties. Only perseverance and determination are omnipotent. The slogan "Go Forward" has been solved and will continue to solve human problems.

5. Maintain a strong interest and engage in favorite activities.

The failure of some students is not a matter of willpower, but forcing themselves to do things that they are not interested in. If the activities you are engaged in can't make people feel full and interesting, it is naturally difficult to continue. A strong interest can inspire great perseverance. As far as conditions permit, try to do things and activities that are both interesting and meet social requirements, and will also exert willpower.

Optimize one's own quality and shape a sound personality.

Personality and will are closely related. People's higher nervous activity type (temperament) and its characteristics such as reactivity, excitability, balance, sensitivity and plasticity play a material basis role in the quality of will. Generally speaking, people with weak will are mostly weak and timid. If you train for some weaknesses in your personality, such as the cultivation of persistence and perseverance by enthusiastic students; Bold students strengthen the training of self-control; Mucous students attach importance to autonomy and decisive exercise.
