Weakened will...

Symptoms of a weakened will

• Difficulty in the ability to start or complete task
• placing energy into areas of little significance to personal development, total well-being or growth and advancement (whether spiritual, family, emotional, economic, career, relationships or relaxation...etc)
• feeling a heavy burden on the body causing inability to move or get motivated.
• lack of desire in beneficial activities that once caused joy and pleasure.
• withdraw and isolation.
• inability to focus on one particular issue, concern or event for long periods of time.
• irritability, mood swings or irrational thoughts. 

We must be ever vigilant of our personal will, will power is a divine gift and one to be increased and enhanced. A weakened will can go virtually unnoticed. We may cast it aside due to blame, judgement of others or doubt. We may assume that it is the fault of others or circumstances that cause us to be uninterested in things of importance. A weak will is a dangerous phenomena that should be consider one of our greatest obstacles to overcome. 

When we have a task that must be accomplished, thought should go into how much energy we need in order to accomplish the task. After that is assessed, ponder the level of our will and act to increase it. Most times some sit idly in long speech of the task to accomplish, draining themselves of the needed energy to carry on.  We spend too much time in mental preparation, visual imagery or imagination over-contemplating tools necessary. This is beneficial only if it does not over-extend into the time for task completion. 

Goal:

Take a task, even very small and resolve to complete it (like taking a walk after dinner). Offer yourself a set measurable time, for example: I will give 25 minutes for X to be started on Thursday May 15th. This will give you a time-frame that is measurable and resolve to complete even the first portion. Then reward yourself for simply completing the task (a relaxing cup of tea).This builds the will, increasing discipline while building self-esteem. One must remain consistent and persevering!!!

To be continued....
