What Is The Will?

Will is the ability to bring things into existence. The ability to see the future and make it happen. There are certain things that can strengthen the will beyond all measure. It comes down to having a synergy with life and enveloping certain practices and habits to work.

Will Philosophy

Will power is often looked at as inferior. This is because these people don’t know how to harness it. harnessing it requires intention and attention. It’s not that will power doesn’t work, it’s that your not using it correctly. Also, it’s not the only thing, as I said, it requires a synergy.

Practices To Develop The Will

1. Breath work

Breath work is a very powerful tool we can use to have stronger nerves and be calm under chaos. Equanimity helps us make more aligned decisions with our values and have a stronger will.

Breathing exercises-

Alternate nostril breathing

Every 3o minutes to 3 hours, one of our nostrils dilates, and one constricts. Breathing through the left nostril while activate the parasympathetic nervous system, while breathing through the right will activate the sympathetic nervous system. To practice, cover the tight nostril, and breathe through the left nostril. Then cover the left nostril, and breathe out through the right nostril. Hold this same position, then breathe through the right nostril, and out through the left.

Box breathing

Box breathing is a technique that the navy seals use before they go on a mission. it’s designed to decrease arousal, and improve focus. Simply breathe in for a count of 4, hold for 4, breathe out for 4, and hold for 4. Carbon dioxide training

Most of us breath way to much, carbon dioxide training will help us breath less. When your exhale is longer than the inhale, you will increase relaxation, and increase carbon dioxide, which improves circulation. Simply breathe in for the count of 3, and breathe out for the count of 6. Do some variation where the exhale is twice as long as the inhale. Breath holds are also a great way to improve carbon dioxide.

2. Meditation

Think of meditation as brain training. Being able to stay focused throughout the day in a world of distractions is invaluable. Meditation can reduce cortisol, which is your bodies main stress hormone. There are many different forms of mediation, but the most common type is mindfulness. Simply sit quietly where you won’t be disturbed, and observe your thoughts. Do not judge them, just notice them. Being aware of your thought can help you change them, and even still the mind. The more relaxed we are, the more energy we will have for healing the body.

3. Adaptation energy

This refers to the ability to adapt skillfully. We all have a certain amount of energy in a given day, and it’s up to us on how we use it. Many of us are focusing our energy on meaningless things. These things have nothing to do with who we really are, or our goals. All of this takes energy that you could have for what is actually important to you. You can build your adaptation energy by making sure that you recover from tasks, and focus on the things that are important to you.

How To Build An Unshakable Will

Freedom orientation-

Being freedom orientated is essentially operating without any limits. When you dream beyond all measure, you give yourself permission to say what it is that you really want. We have something called the reticular activating system (RAS) in the brain, which acts as a filter of what’s going on in the unconscious. That part of the brain is designed to focus on what is important to you, and block out the rest.
