There are several definitions for fear; however, the most fundamental meaning of fear is an emotional response because we face something unfamiliar or feel impending danger.

When women experience fear, several physiological and psychological responses take place all at the same time.

Psychological events include feeling emotionally overwhelmed, having high levels of anxiety, and even feeling terrified. Physiological responses include a faster heart rate, shallow breathing, and similar effects.

Experiencing fear can significantly impact your view on life, your confidence levels, and even the potential that you have as an individual.

No matter how hard you strive, bad days are going to creep up now and then. While you cannot regulate the things that happen to you, you can manage your responses. You can also releave a negative situation by taking action to remedy the problem.

1. Finding comforting activities. A rotten day is prone to trigger you to get stressed out and tense up. You can combat this feeling by participating in something you find relaxing, such as...

I have been coaching ladies for a few years. The biggest thing I have learned, both for my clients and myself, is that the key to it all is inner confidence. 

There are multiple strategies, ways of thinking, patterns of behavior, and practical tips for improving your life and feeling better about yourself. But they are redundant if the foundation is not stable. That foundation is your genuine self, the you that deep down you know you are. The secret is that it takes confidence to find that foundation and bring out the real you.

Three steps to confidence you can take today:

1. Understand your values

Personal values are a big passion, and I often get carried away when I talk about them. I make no apology for that, though. They are one of the most important things you can know about yourself and are vital in getting genuine inner confidence.

Your values are right at the very core of who you are. They are building blocks, cornerstones, and foundations. A value...

Life is a beautiful journey. A journey that you only get the pleasure of enjoying once. So, you must maximize your time on this earth by ensuring that you appreciate every single moment you can.

It truly is those little things in life that bring us the most joy. Some women believe that their level of personal happiness is dependent upon the actions of others. While contributions from loved ones certainly can boost your spirits, the key to everyday satisfaction rests in your own hands.

Four easy approaches to bring more pleasure into your life each day:

1. Spend alone-time with your partner. Love is the most powerful prescription for happiness. Luckily, it is free, enjoyable for both parties, and readily available! Take advantage of the beautiful person you have by your side and spend as much quality time together as possible.

* Schedule a monthly date night, even if you live with each other. (Hint: Being in a lively atmosphere where the crowd disappears...

Developing balance and harmony among all the aspects of your life can bring you true happiness. It can be challenging to keep everything in order, but the harmony you create makes a tremendous difference when you do.

The trick is to spread your focus reasonably equally among the different areas of your life. This means that, while your work life might be stressful, you cannot overlook your relationships, spirituality, or other areas that are also vital to you.

The situation can be compared to the beautiful music performance by an accomplished orchestra. All instruments perform in perfect harmony together. Occasionally one instrument will come forward into the spotlight while the other instruments wait or keep on playing quietly, fulfilling their part of the total beauty.

Dealing with conflict diplomatically can be an overwhelming challenge if you have a short temper. The way you treat others affects your career contacts, friendships, job security, and even romantic relationships.

To deal with conflict kindly, be willing to agree to change.

The next time you face confrontation, follow these tips:

1. Step out of your shoes. Scrutinize the situation objectively as it will allow you to see both sides of the story honestly. Why is the other person unhappy? What could you maybe have done to offend them or cause them to feel as if they were wronged or attacked? Is there any merit to their reaction?

* Remember, most people hardly ever lash out without a feeling of justification. Find why they approached you so hastily so you can figure out how to diffuse the situation.

2. Be understanding. Sometimes, all someone needs to calm down is to feel as if they are understood. Say something that will make them feel like they have the...

While dream analysis will not solve all your challenges, just paying closer attention to your dreams can drive you in the right direction for resolving at least some of them. Your dreams can give you clues about what is going on in your subconscious.

Sleeping gives your mind much-needed rest and allocates your brain time to sort things out. What is actually on your mind may wind up in your dreams as a way to deal with your feelings.

Take an interest in Dreams

Get into the practice of paying attention to what your dreams are advising you. They might appear wild and crazy initially, but you may find an important message hidden within if you break them down.

When you have trouble recalling your dreams, keep a pen and paper beside your bed. You might be able to remember your dream the instant you wake up. If so, you can immediately jot down your thoughts before they are lost. This technique also enables you to capture the details of your dreams more fully.
