Emotional Confidence

Emotional confidence is the inner knowledge you can, a feeling of trust, belief, and assurance in yourself. You have a profound impact on everyone you encounter. Your level of self-confidence largely determines what you make happen in life. Self-confidence is the emotional component of your personality and an essential factor in determining how you think, feel, and behave. When you receive attention for an accomplishment, you focus on all the people who worked hard to help get you there. You don't crave approval or praise because you draw your self-worth from within.

Attitude Of Confidence

Self-confidence is an attitude about your skills and abilities. You accept and trust yourself and have a sense of control in your life. You know your strengths and weaknesses well and have a positive view of yourself. Feeling confident in yourself might depend on the situation. You may seek external validation, but it does not define your ability. You have learned how to act in confidence from your body language, your behaviors, and the words you use but lack the feeling of inner confidence. You accomplish actions through willpower. Your attitude of confidence allows you to use your talents to succeed at any task.

Fear Of Loss Of Autonomy

Loss of Autonomy is a feeling of being trapped and helpless, overwhelmed, and restricted.

It may be caused by thinking about being controlled by circumstances beyond your control, especially in situations where you may feel helpless or powerless.

Fear can be a tool.

When you're afraid, it can mean you're moving in the right direction because you have to move through your comfort zone to get to that next level for yourself.

Use positive thoughts about what you can control. You are in control of how you respond to every situation.

Fear Of Failure

When you feel afraid to fail, you may typically respond to challenges in one of two ways: You may give up before you even begin, preferring to avoid the possibility of failure. You may also get upset and down on yourself when you don’t get something right the first time, resulting in worry and poor performance

When you make mistakes, try to respond with positivity or humor. Ask yourself what you’ve learned from your mistakes (whether past or present), and be willing to pick yourself up and try again.

Fear Of Physical Harm

Fear of physical and mental harm may be the feeling of being hurt while doing something or the fear of another.

Fear of psychological harm may feel like distrust and feel unsafe and not supported in your relationship. This fear may cause you to be reluctant to trust, act out, and withdraw from family and friends.

When feeling fear of physical harm, you may find yourself constantly reacting to a high level of stress. This may result in decreased productivity and can have a traumatic impact on daily living.

Building a sense of safety and managing fear can be helpful as you work through difficult or conflicting emotions.

Talk to someone about your fear. Share your thoughts with a trusted friend.

Limit what you watch on television, movies, and social media. Create a physical space for you to feel calm and safe.

Fear Of Losing Identity

When you lose your identity and sense of self, you will likely seek your sense of self-worth from others.

You care deeply about how others view you. Your sense of value and self-worth, your feelings of confidence, are dependent on external factors such as your physical appearance, success, status, money, and even fame.

As a result, you seek reassurance and praise from others to feel OK about yourself. In reality, your emotional well-being depends on how you feel about yourself.

Look in the mirror at who you see and find love for what you already are.

Fear Of Separation

Fear of separation triggers feelings of abandonment. Unmet needs in a relationship can result in feelings of separation.

You may be reluctant to leave home and resistant to being drawn into independent activity.

Fear of separation may be a reason for missing work or school. This fear challenges you to stand on your own two feet.

Manage your fear by facing it rather than fighting your separateness. Come to the realization that you can take care of yourself both physically and emotionally.

When you accept yourself and the fear with compassion, you will begin to feel the fear dissipate.
