The Power of Acceptance and Avoidance in Confidence

Our brain operates based on pursuit and avoidance rather than positive or negative thinking. When our level of acceptance is low, avoidance takes precedence over pursuit, leading to destabilized confidence when trying to avoid mistakes while also pursuing goals. Acceptance of all outcomes, even the unfavorable ones, stabilizes confidence by eliminating the need for multitasking. Acceptance is a powerful tool that can be accessed anytime, providing stability and allowing us to be more present.
