With effective writing, our characters should always try to show, and not tell, the reader how they are feeling.  Verbal expressions are the simplest and most direct way, like stuttering or announcing things.  But, there are certain actions and reactions in the body, which are even more efficient at conveying a character's feelings.  I've decided to give you a couple of opposite feelings to work with.  

Here are physical clues for you to use portraying your character's state of being.  Feel free to add more, but use these to get your scene started.  

#227 - Conflicted - Rubbing or pulling at an ear, looking downward, and a sinking feeling in the gut

#228 - Confident - Stretching, a strong handshake, and easy breathing
