Turn Anxiety Into Confidence by Changing Your Outlook
Worrying about the future can undermine your ability to succeed. If you’re worried, change your outlook on your future from nervous and cold to confident.
As the advice site Wall Street Oasis explains, anxiety and confidence are mental brothers that can come from the same hard path. You think about your future and act based on what you see. Except that anxiety arises when you look ahead and see failure. Confidence arises when you look ahead and see that you are making progress.
Of course, we are very poor are able to predict the future , and maybe you do not suffer so much failure, how many think. However, your attitude towards potential success or failure can affect your work. If you think you’re going to screw up, this could be a self-fulfilling prophecy. Reminding yourself that you can be successful can actually change not only your confidence level, but your outcome:
You have months before bonuses and you are behind at work. You look to the future and see that you have been screwed up, so every night you lower your head and work late. By working late every night, you start looking ahead and find yourself missing out on dining with your spouse, not being around your children, and losing all your close relationships because you are absorbed in work.
In this scenario, you won’t win. You will always be unhappy because, just like watching Kardashians, you fill your mind with terrible thoughts. But what if you changed the movie?
What if instead of having terrible setbacks, you saw a successful and happy version of yourself? What if you knew – with the same absolute certainty that you do now – that everything would go well for you? This is what confidence is: look ahead and see what you like.
Note that using this technique when you are anxious is not the same as dealing with anxiety disorder . If you are struggling with anxiety disorder, you cannot simply get rid of it, otherwise envision your future. However, learning how to change your outlook over time can help you change your perspective after a seizure.
