Invoima

Invoima is a Finnish-language term used to describe inner strength, vitality, or personal energy. The concept is largely non-scientific and is most often encountered in discussions of motivation, well-being, and personal development. Invoima is typically used metaphorically to describe the psychological resources a person draws on to face challenges, rather than a measurable physical quantity.

In practice, invoima appears across various forms of Finnish discourse—from self-help writing to public speaking and branding. It is common for organizations, programs, or initiatives aimed at empowerment to adopt invoima as a name or descriptor, leveraging its associations with resilience and energy.

Because invoima is a flexible, context-dependent term rather than a technical term with a fixed definition, its exact meaning can vary between authors or communities. Generally, it denotes an inner, sustaining force that contributes to action, perseverance, and well-being.
