The explanatory dictionaries explain that courage is a special psychological state, a feeling of success in a case that is passed on to others. Courage does not imply carefully thought out actions; it is more a rush of the soul. There is also an opinion that courage is an analogue of enthusiasm, a special state of determination and courage.
In moments of courage, it seems that some invisible force pushes you forward. The movements are clear and calibrated, speech pours in a continuous stream. Many speakers know about such a thing as the “10 minutes effect” - during this time you need to talk yourself, and then the automatism mechanisms are already triggered.
Courage and driveThe concept of "drive" came to us from the West, this state is somewhat reminiscent of courage. Drive is also a readiness for decisive action, a positive charge of energy. In fact, drive and courage is a laid-back behavior, a state where the sea is knee-deep. This behavior, which is usually not characteristic of a person, helps to establish contacts and attract the attention of others. Everyone wants to experience the state of courage, to become the soul of the company, but at the same time many do not think about why courage arises and whether it is good.
Situations in which courage arises
Courage is self-affirmation at the expense of others. To achieve this state, others are needed to exaggerate and reflect their own state. Basically, courage is created in two cases - when a person is in full control of the situation or is on the verge of despair and he has nothing to lose. Internal confidence in actions is courage, the translation of this word from French is “heart” (“coeur”). Anyone who knows how to artificially create courage, knows how to gain the attention of another person.
How to artificially achieve courage
First of all, it is necessary to recall the feeling of omnipotence and flight, familiar from childhood, when fear was unknown. Everyone has such moments, you just need to remember them. Drunk Russian courage is a similar state, but it is wrong, and you should not be equal to it.
Then you need to believe in your own strengths, that you are the most compelling and attractive. And understand that any person with whom you communicate, also seeks to please you. If you turn the situation and the attitude towards it the other way round, it will immediately become clear that the position is controlled by the one who acts.
When you can’t create a feeling of courage
In difficult situations, it is very important to appear brave so that the people around you do not lose heart. But if a person does not have the qualities of a leader, then most likely they cannot be imitated. People immediately feel it. Therefore, it is very important to radiate optimism and self-confidence, and not just portray them.
Many go to work every day, communicate, just live, but for bright and active actions they lack the mood and freshness of thought. Psychologists in this case say that there is no energy or motivation. Where does energy and courage come from? Our inner state is directly dependent on energy and emotional recovery. Our soul feeds on joy and success. We experience a state of courage when it turns out to realize all our plans.
