Conquering the fear of the unknown is a challenging endeavor, but it is possible. If you agonize from a fear of uncertainty, knowing what fear is and how it impacts you can allow you to embark on the road to conquering it.

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.

Here is an illustration of a situation where a woman had the crippling fear that everything she did would fail:

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.

The next task is to discover something you can do to cheer yourself up. Every woman is different and likes different things. What ‘cheers you up’ is not necessarily going to be the same for everyone.

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.

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.
