Survival instincts are not an emotion. They are a state of mind that takes us into the here and now to make wise decisions. This article will focus on some survival instincts that help us understand how to build confidence in the here and now so that we can be self-sufficient in the long term.We all know that there is a lot of fear out there on the news, and it seems that people react to fear in a way that serves their short term interests, but that serves their long term interests even more. More people are taking on short-term jobs that pay them less and that takes them away from the activities that they enjoy the most. The reason why this is happening is that our society has trained us to fear the unknown. To learn how to deal with fear, you need to have your entire being focused on what is true and what is fear. To find your strength, you need to surround yourself with those who are not afraid. Those that fear the unknown cannot help you overcome fear.Generalizations are another form of fear. Everyone can make a generalized statement about something and people who are overly fearful about something tend to do this. If you do this, you will become emotionally weak and unable to stand up to it. This lack of strength is a very important part of the survival instincts that are inherited from our ancestors. There is another form of fear that you need to be aware of: Do Not Do and Don’t Do. You need to understand what these two fears are before you can realize how to defeat them. In most cases, the word DO is associated with an action that you are afraid of, but you do not need to do it because you are not afraid. For example, if someone says do not be rude, you do not need to follow this advice.We also need to understand these types of generalizations and how to break them down. The definition of “not being afraid” is that you cannot be afraid of something unless you do it, so you should not be afraid of a do not do. Instead, you should be afraid of not doing it. Courage is also a very important survival instinct. You need to learn the ability to trust yourself and to stand up for what you believe in. Being able to do this, in a time of crisis, is a powerful combination of survival instincts. In the end, your success is determined by how confident you are in the situation. Today, when we suffer from psychological wounds, we must learn to open ourselves up to healing. It is not easy to build your confidence, but it is necessary to be successful in everything you do. The survival instincts that are inherited from our ancestors are very powerful, and you must learn to use them to be successful. Marilyn, March 19, 2020. No Comments on Natural Survival Instincts .
