Being strong and independent is the trend of the 21st century. Every day the ranks of confident women are rapidly growing. This is not surprising, because the idea of feminism appealed to many. There is nothing wrong with this, because strong ladies always achieve the desired results and heights.
We talked about the signs of a psychologically strong woman in this article, and today we’ll talk about what will help you become independent and strong. To do this, it is not enough just to want to be one. It is necessary to adhere to certain rules that will help achieve results in a short time.
Strong woman
Say goodbye to the past
Few people live in the present. Most women cannot let go of the past , which is why changes do not come in their lives. Negative experiences, disappointments, betrayals - this is not all that does not allow ladies to relax and let go of the situation. To become stronger, it is recommended to gradually prepare yourself mentally for change.
To begin with, it is enough to say to yourself: “Today will bring me everything I want. I will become strong no matter what happened yesterday."
What prevents us from becoming strong
Becoming truly strong is not so easy, especially since there are so many circumstances around that oppose it. Let's look at the factors that are the enemies of a confident woman:
- Constant self-criticism greatly reduces a woman's self-confidence. Many girls love to look for flaws in themselves and, surprisingly, they find them, even if those around them do not notice them at all. There is no need to constantly criticize yourself and look for shortcomings and disadvantages in all your actions. If they are insignificant and do not harm the final result, you can safely forget about them, or not give them any importance at all
- Excess weight is a problem for many people in our country. Especially for the female sex, it has a detrimental effect, primarily on the psyche and self-esteem. It's rare to find a woman who is overweight and happy with her appearance. So, if you are overweight, start trying to get rid of it
- Dependence on other people's opinions. Many women are afraid to change something in their lives just because they are worried about what people will say
- Consciousness of the “victim”. There are many women who believe that someone is constantly depriving them of something and offending them, and are constantly in a negative mood. Of course, with such thoughts there is no question of gaining self-confidence and that you are loved.
Let go of such thoughts, accept the love of your loved ones for you with gratitude and reciprocity, you don’t need to assume that everyone wants harm to you
Solve problems correctly
Problems must be resolved as they arise . There is no need to think of anything ahead of time. Extra thoughts will only confuse you. And if a woman wants to be taken seriously, she will have to cope with difficulties on her own . This will not only strengthen your character, but also help improve your position in society.
Overcoming difficulties
Secrets of proper nutrition
The first component is proper nutrition. Here are the best nutrition tips from nutritionists:
- Don't overeat. Remember - the size of your stomach in an unstretched state is equal to 1 fist. Think about how much you eat. Anything larger than one fist is superfluous and will turn into fat that will appear on the sides.
- Don't eat fast food and flour products. They contain maximum harm and minimum benefit. There are no vitamins and minerals. Just empty calories you don't need. If you overeat and eat a lot of fast food, then no amount of training will help - fat deposits will hide your muscles.
- Eat and drink less sweets . The World Health Organization recommends getting no more than 25 grams of sugar per day from food. For example, a liter bottle of Coca-Cola contains twice as much sugar. Sugar is quickly digested. If you do not use the energy obtained from it, then it will be converted into fat cells.
- Eat more protein foods. Protein is needed for muscle growth. You can find it in cottage cheese with sour cream, boiled eggs, fish, meat and other products. If you want sculpted muscles, include protein foods in your diet.
- Eat more often. You must have breakfast and lunch. dinner and 2 snacks.
- Don't let your body become dehydrated. Drink immediately after waking up, every 1.5-2 hours during the day. During training, take a couple of sips every 10-15 minutes. You can place glasses or a bottle of water next to you.
- Have healthy snacks. If you can't have a normal lunch, have snacks. You can use fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds.
Love and respect yourself
“Until you love yourself, no one will love you” is the motto of every strong woman
Self-love is not selfishness, but a manifestation of respect and admiration . To feel happier, you need to do everything that brings joy. Even a banal walk in the park can become a manifestation of self-love if it is perceived correctly. As soon as a woman learns to focus on her strengths, her life will change dramatically.
Self love
These rules are enough to become a strong and independent woman. Changes in life are considered hard work that requires a lot of attention and patience. Therefore, you should approach them mentally prepared.

Transforming into strong women
Let's try to draw up a certain set of rules, adhering to which, any of us can become truly strong and self-confident:
- Look after yourself. Agree, when we are dressed in a beautiful dress that suits us very well, we have beautiful makeup, manicure, hairstyle, we feel very confident. So why not look like this every day? To do this, you don’t need to go to salons every day; you just need to learn how to do light makeup and hair styling.
As for clothes, stop buying things based only on their convenience, practicality, etc. Buy the clothes that make you feel attractive! There is no need to accumulate a bunch of old things in your wardrobe that have already served their purpose and lie idle - throw them in the trash, they only clog up your closet and your life
- Respect yourself. Don't let people or circumstances make you lose self-respect. Learn to calmly experience all shocks and not cry in front of strangers. Your tears should only be seen by the people closest to you, who will sympathize with you sincerely, and not rejoice at your failures
- Be indifferent to what other people say about you. Strong and confident people do not react to gossip, a truly significant opinion is the opinion of our loved ones, family, and the rest are very often just jealous!
- Strive for excellence, develop. Even if they tell you that you are perfect and they admire you, this is not a reason to stop there. Constantly improving yourself, looking for something new and exciting - all this is necessary to move forward in life.
I want to be strong - and I will be, no matter what!
- Don't live one day at a time. Even if everything is fine with you today, no one and nothing guarantees you that tomorrow will be the same. Therefore, try to live in such a way that, if tomorrow you are left with nothing, you have reserves to survive for at least one month until you solve your problems. Firstly, this concerns the material side
- Get things done. If you start doing something, do not stop halfway, be sure to bring it to the end, this will help you gain confidence in your abilities, that you can do anything
- Practice. Sport is a very good way to forget about life’s problems, improve your health and get in shape. Even if you can't go to the gym, work out at home. Dedicate at least 15-20 minutes a day to sports, and in just a month you will see positive results that will inspire you to move forward. You can also start doing yoga, this is a very good way to get in shape and gain spiritual energy.
- Learn from others' experiences. This in no way means that you should maniacally follow all the successes and failures of all the people around you; this is absolutely forbidden. But, always notice for yourself certain circumstances that led to certain results in people’s lives, and draw conclusions for yourself
- Don't be afraid to make mistakes. Of course, failure is unpleasant. But if they weren’t there, we wouldn’t get life experience. Treat failures, first of all, as good teachers who gave you invaluable life lessons.
- And most importantly, a motto that needs to be learned by heart and repeated every time it seems that everything is bad and difficult: “I want to be strong - and I will be, no matter what!”
Sport is the source of life
Professional doctors from all over the world have been looking for a miraculous way to preserve youth and health for many years. Various elixirs, vitamins, healthy and proper nutrition are wonderful, but nothing can replace adequate physical activity, which will normalize all the vital processes of the body.
Many studies show results that provide information that even minimal physical activity in a person reduces the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases. Scientists from New Orleans have published data showing that jogging for just 30-60 minutes a week reduces the risk of early death by 30%, and the risk of death directly from a heart attack or stroke by 45%.
Principle #1
Perhaps one of the main conditions that gives a woman a sense of inner freedom is financial independence. Even if she is married and her income is several times less than that of her husband. If the husband provides for the woman completely, she should still have her own occupation. Firstly, to avoid being in the position of a beggar; secondly, to be able to provide for themselves and their children, being left without a husband; thirdly, to be interesting to your man. Modern women are able to combine the role of homemaker and, for example, leading manager. And it will always be easier for such a woman to keep the fire going in her relationship with her husband than for just a housewife.
Support, but don't impose
At certain moments, a child needs parental support in order to take the right step. Just as a baby cannot learn to walk or read without the help of adults, at an older age he too may need wise advice or guidance. But before expressing his opinion on this or that issue, a parent should ask whether his daughter needs this? If she says no, don't interfere.

If a girl wants to hear your opinion, express it, but do not impose it. Leave the last word to the child. Even if the child does not follow your recommendation, do not insist, give him the right to make a mistake. After all, you have to pay a much lower price for mistakes committed in childhood than for those that may occur in older age.
Question about quick results
Often people want to develop strength quickly and effectively. Becoming physically stronger quickly is only possible if you follow a training schedule and devote yourself completely to them. Also, special devices – simulators – are used for these purposes. For example, Sotsky Bison-1M.
Even with a daily 15-minute session with it, you will seriously strengthen your hands and forearms.
If you are faced with a plan to quickly increase strength, then keep in mind that the very concept of “quickly” is quite relative and individual. Here you cannot do without comprehensive work, both with and without shells, and proper nutrition.
With some effort, you can become somewhat stronger in one week. But this will only be a weak local result. In this regard, a week is extremely short. You need constant training with full gear.
It does not have to be based on programs for athletes. Basic complexes will be enough:
- Bench presses in a lying position.
- Deadlift.
- Press up.
- Bent over barbell work.
- Pull-ups.
- Squats with weights.
For fruitful work, use weights that are limiting for you. For example, place enough weights on a barbell to perform 3-5 reps. Also, increase the load over time.
Take a 2-5 minute break between sets. Take this time to stretch your muscles.
The “pyramid” technique helps a man become physically stronger. It is based on the systematic development of the weight of the projectiles and reducing the number of repetitions.
Example: in the 1st cycle – 11 repetitions, weight – 70 kg, in the 2nd – 10, weight – 75, in the 3rd – 9, weight – 80.
But this method requires enormous energy consumption. For climactic approaches, it is important to maintain a lot of strength. A slightly different principle can be applied. Example - you set a task to squat with a mass of 100 kg and do 5 repetitions. First, thoroughly stretch your knees. Take a weight of 50 kg, squat 6 times. The next load is 60 kg – 5 times, then 70 kg – 4 times, 80 kg – 3 repetitions, 90 kg – 2 repetitions. After this, you can implement the designated plan.
