Confidence, that works too. :)
The more adversity you survive, the more confident you are about surviving the next. It's not the same as being safer, but it may feel like it.
That word seems to work too. :) Just add onto that the fact that the knowledge of how to take care of myself and protect myself brings that confidence that I can cope or get through it, or watch out for dangers more readily. :)
But yes, the word confidence works when stated as "I have more confidence because I have gained more knowledge to use in those situations."
