5 tips for conquering social stage fright

Hello my friend:

Do you tremble when you are the center of attention?

If you don't, then good for you. You can probably close
this email right now (I'll get to you tomorrow.)

> But if you are someone who stands mute at parties (or
even avoids them completely)...
> Hates the idea of speaking in small groups, let alone in
front of a big crowd...
> Or turns into a tub of Jell-O in practically any social
situation...

Then today's newsletter contains some information you'll
definitely want to know about.

Social anxiety, with its emotional and physical symptoms
that hit you like a runaway freight train, is one of the
most frustrating challenges we can face in our lives.

But you can break free from the prison of shyness,
insecurity, and self consciousness. And today, I'd like to
share five easy things you can do right now to stop your
anxiety from taking you over and taking you down.

First of all...

1. Accept the fact that not everyone will like you.

You can be the nicest, most engaging, funniest, attractive
person in the world. But not everyone is going to be your
fan. As unbelievable as that seems - it's a fact. Get
used to it.

Hey, with billions of people on this planet it's a
statistical certainty that at some point in your life
you're going to meet someone that just doesn't like you.
99.9% of the time, this happens not because of something
you said or did. It's just...a clash of personalities;
chemical reaction. Or they don't like your look. Nothing
personal.

2. Concentrate on attracting kind, caring and supportive
people into your life.

Positive, encouraging people build your self esteem. They
help you feel good about yourself. They're happy when you
succeed, and help you when you're down. Before you know
it, you'll find it a lot easier to express your own needs
and desires-because you'll be met with support, not
negativity.

3. Stop trying to seek approval.

This is a behavior that's rooted in us from when we're
kids. We want to please mommy, daddy, and teachers. But people
who become permanent approval-seekers do it at the expense
of their own innate feelings and desires.

Remember, you have more important things to do than worry
about what people think of you. When you stop seeking
approval from others and start expressing the real "you,"
people will begin to see you as confident and self-assured.
Someone they'll want to be around.

4. Don't take yourself too seriously!

My German grandmother had a great expression: laugh and
the world laughs with you; cry and you cry alone. When you
have a sense of humor and see the fun in life rather than
dark clouds, you become like a magnet - attracting people
who actually want to meet and get to know you.

5. Blaze your own path in life.

Studies show that people who suffer from anxiety are often
"followers." Go with the flow...it's easier this way...can't
we all get along...

But when you replace fear and insecurity with composure
and confidence, you'll be able to tell the difference
between people who can be trusted and those who can't. And
learn a lot about other people - just by watching and
listening.

Don't you think you deserve to get what you want out of
life? Follow your dreams and passions-despite what others
think?

Might sound tough to do...

But when you re-condition your brain to embrace
confidence, encouragement and self-empowerment, its so much
easier to claim the kind of life you want.

Love,

Mike
