Overcoming Shyness

Friday, October 4, 2013

On Lets Get Working I’d like to share ways of overcoming shyness if you are a shy person.

Just Do it – force yourself to talk to people. With practise it will become easier. If you see uncomfortable situations as ‘challenges’ you will cope with the stress and anxiety better.

Relax, get comfortable – watch a funny video before. Get yourself smiling to relax and feel good.

Set simple goals – for example – I will speak to one stranger per day.

Get help from your outgoing friends – ride on their chatter and join in.

Embrace the nerves – if you are scared or uncomfortable – do it anyway. If you’re nervous it means you’re alive. Most people feel nervous.

Make it about them, not you – focus on the other person. Ask them questions and get them talking. This will take the pressure off you.

Don’t think of yourself as a ‘shy’ person – if you drop the label you will not be in that box anymore.

Until next time,
Enjoy the journey!
Martha!
