It might be helpful to imagine that you have an actual child that lives inside you. You are mom and dad for this child. You are only one who can feel and hear this child’s needs and who can take action on behalf of this child. You already know what happens if you ignore needs of your actual children. In some way or another, they will act out until they get love and attention they need. The same is true for your Inner Child. Our Inner Child, which is our feeling self, can even cause us to be sick if we don’t pay attention to him or her. Your Inner Child lets you know when you are not being loving to him or her with anxiety, stress, anger, or resentment. When you are feeling these feelings, instead of looking outside yourself for cause, look at whether or not you are lovingly parenting yourself. It is one of best things you can do for you and for your children. (For help in self-parenting through Inner Bonding process, See our FREE Course at http://www.innerbonding.com).

Both of these abilities are required for daily actions and decisions, and also for making major decisions and attaining major success. They are needed to start and continue studying, building a business, losing weight, bodybuilding and physical exercises, maintaining good relationships, changing habits, self improvement, meditation, spiritual growth, keeping and carrying out promises and for almost everything else.

One of most simple and effective methods to develop will power and self-discipline is by refusing to satisfy unimportant and unnecessary desires. Everyone is constantly confronted and tempted by an endless stream of desires and temptations, many of which are not really important or desirable. By learning to refuse to satisfy every one of them, you get stronger.

Refusing and rejecting useless, harmful or unnecessary desires and actions, and behaving contrary to your habits, sharpen and strengthen your inner strength. By constant practice your inner power grows, just like exercising your muscles at a gym increases your physical strength. In both cases, when you need inner power or physical strength, they are available at your disposal.

Here are a few examples: - Don’t read newspaper for a day or two. - Drink water when thirsty, in spite of your desire to have a soft drink. - Walk up and down stairs instead of taking lift. - Get down from bus one station before or after your destination, and walk rest of way. - For a week go to sleep one hour earlier than usual. - Sometimes resist desire to eat ice cream.

These are only a few examples of many exercises that can be conducted in order to develop will power and self-discipline. Exercises like these add to storehouse of your inner strength. By following a systematic method of training you can reach far, have more control over yourself and your life, attain your goals, improve your life, and gain satisfaction and peace of mind.
