The importance of acceptance in stable confidence

Stable confidence is about giving oneself permission to perform freely without a guarantee. It requires acceptance of negative outcomes and letting go of the need for trust, certainty, and comfort. Relying on these factors for confidence creates a conditional relationship that is not always available to us. When we have a low level of acceptance, it becomes difficult to be present, results in inconsistent effort, and makes us risk-averse. Acceptance allows us to focus on the task at hand and take calculated risks, leading to more stable confidence and better performance in high-pressure situations.
