A person’s free decision, consistent with his values, is will. A person feels helpless and unfree if he is overcome by laziness, due to which he does not start doing things that are important to him. The lack of freedom of a person is that he is not able to do what he wants. It is difficult to solve this issue with the help of discipline, because it implies coercion, taming one's free spirit. It is better to choose another path - the path of internal consent. To do this, it is important to turn to a person’s values, because weak or absent contact at the level of feelings with values ​​makes a person’s will weak and de-energizes it. To strengthen the will, you can use the method of Alfried Langle (Austrian psychotherapist). His method is based on strengthening the determination to do what you want and what is important. But this matter must contain true value for a person. If a person is driven by imposed values, then his will will be weak. And as a result, the work that he started will be carried out sluggishly and inactively, and over time may be abandoned. This method cannot be used if there are fears, problems with self-worth, depression, apathy. 5 steps to strengthen the will; 1. Finding out the reasons why who had a desire to do this task. Realize what good there is for me in completing this task. Specify. Think about the expected results and how realistic they are. 2. Find out the disadvantages. Analyze what you have to sacrifice. This step can indicate such disadvantages that will lead you to think about refusing to do what you want. 3. Sensual contact. Determine the values ​​that exist in completing this task. Try to feel what will happen if I start doing what I want. Those emotions and feelings that will be felt will become a source of motivation. 4. Awareness of a possible perspective. Find out what I can get in my life if I achieve what I want, how can my life change then? 5. Take action. Start doing what you want today and now. Analyze points that can affect motivation and reduce it. Think about how you can prevent this. If there is a need, then we return to the third step.
