Not everyone believes this but the emotional and mental aspects of a person, when combined, leads to better self confidence.

Emotions love to dominate our actions and reactions, even though we do not want it to happen sometimes. The society often see emotions as a sign of weakness, so people are used to putting them aside and focusing on the rational aspects more and more.

You may be very grounded and logical, but you still feel. I am a very grounded person but when my emotions run high I can become irrational, and sometimes there is nothing wrong with that provided it doesn’t run our lives. One day, someone or something will get through you.

Positive experiences are closely related to our emotions and is what we really want any way. Many of us now look toward emotional health and self confidence as away to achieve the things we want out of life. What is more important; the amount of money you made during your life or the times you laughed out of sheer joy? Maybe you can have both.

We often place our positive feelings behind our negative feelings. This produces a no win situation situation and lots of aggravation. We go after our dreams but never succeed simply because we maintain that old feeling and belief.

If we ignore a negative experience and may persist and gain more power as now we inadvertently focus on it. Some times we just need to accept it and soon it will lose its power because now your not fighting it. I have always believed in the power of the opposite to the obvious.

For example, when you were a child, if your goldfish died, you would be saddened. Your parents will probably buy you another goldfish but the sorrow is still there. If we fight the sorrow it can become a prevailing thought pattern.

When you become an adult it gets more difficult . An argument together with your partner the night before may impact all of your next day. You go to work annoyed, tired, and your mind walks. On the way home you won’t notice the lake as you drive by you may forget to pat the dog so you miss out on the joy the dog can bring into your life.

All this because that one unwanted thought. you had has changed your whole perception, changing your reality.

Should you realize you can find a safe location, unwind the mind and you be amazed at exactly how fast you are able to improve your psychological as well as mental well-being, building confidence to strive forward

That place is relatively easy to find. It can be an actual place or on the innermost thought location. The best idea is to totally allow your self to drift away.

Let us say you have a problem on your mind and it just wouldn’t go away. Go do something different, play a game. This Changes the brains chemistry. Just give it a shot.

Get caught up in the game. Your mind will drift away from the negative thoughts that dominated your last hours or days and start processing a whole new kind of information.

A safe haven can take many forms. It can be a song, a movie, even a person or animal. The main thing is let yourself get completely taken by this new activity.

You might still get some inklings of the problem and that’s ok. Soon it will be gone and hopefully a solution will emerge..

When the bowling game, the song, or the movie ends you will abruptly return to reality. You will probably want to retreat back to the safe place. Do not do it.

The safe place is only there to help you when you need a break, not as a permanent escape. It serves only as a safe haven.

You will return from your retreat with more energy. You’ll feel better about yourself and have more self confidence. You will see that any challenge can be solved.

This is how time out for your mind from a hostile environment can increase your emotional and mental health. Try to do this regularly and you’re on your way to greater self awareness and self confidence.
