The term "warrior spirit" refers to the part of us that refuses to give up and accept defeat. The part that fights against adversity and stands firm when it feels like the whole world is on our shoulders. It's the part of us that embodies strength, courage, and determination.

Strengthening your warrior spirit works similar to strengthening a muscle in your body. If you want to strengthen that particular muscle, you have to exercise it. If you don't, it becomes weaker. As the saying goes "if you don't use it, you lose it." Strengthening your warrior spirit works on the same principle.

Managing your inner dialogue forms an integral part of strengthening your warrior spirit. If you want your warrior spirit to become stronger, you have to feed it with thoughts that will make it stronger. Negative thoughts that feed the feelings of weakness and powerlessness will weaken your warrior spirit. Examples are "I'm so useless" or "I'm too weak; I'll never be able to do this."

It's completely normal to have negative thoughts from time to time. In my previous post, I referred to our mind as our "internal garden" and I want to continue with that metaphor to explain this further. Someone with a healthy and powerful warrior spirit takes care of their "internal garden" by removing the "weeds" (negative thoughts) as they arise, where others leave the "weeds" until they've grown so big that they've overrun the entire garden.

When these negative thoughts occur, first take the time to acknowledge their presence with compassion, and then you can focus on managing them. Remember, closing your eyes won't make the monsters go away! There's no point in ignoring those thoughts. Those "weeds" will grow whether you accept them as a reality or not. After doing this you can then choose to feed your warrior spirit with empowering thoughts like "I am a warrior! I will keep fighting until I reach my goals!" or "Warriors don't quit when things get tough, I will see this through! Even if I have to crawl over the finish line!"

Now, some of those experiences might have done a considerable amount of damage to you, but they couldn't destroy you. Each scar that you have, whether it's physical or non-physical is a reminder. A reminder that you were stronger than whatever tried to destroy you. 𝗔 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗮 𝘀𝘂𝗿𝘃𝗶𝘃𝗼𝗿! There's a vast amount of strength hidden deep inside of you. Your warrior spirit's potential power is incredible, but you have to put in the work to cultivate it.

At this point in your life, you might feel battered and bruised after everything that you've been through, but you're still breathing, and as long as you are still breathing, there's still some fight left in you! Decide to honour your warrior spirit and unleash your full potential.
