6 Ways To Overcome Shyness And Gain
Confidence By:

Are you shy? Do you have difficulty coping with people or
situations? Then I have good news for you. You do not have to
suffer from shyness and you should not feel insecure and fear
that you are being judged with every step you take.
Winning the war with shyness takes practice, but is
definitely well worth the effort as the result is increasing
confidence and self esteem. Wake up feeling good about
yourself, able to face the world with confidence and security
and the knowing that no feeling of shyness can come in your way
of achieving your desires.
There are hundreds of books written on the subject of how
beat shyness and gain confidence, but there are a few
techniques that anyone can practice. Here are 6 suggestions of
techniques on how to overcome your shyness:
1. Every morning, as soon as you get up, get in front of a
mirror and say out loud "I feel terrific! I feel terrific! I
feel terrific!" Repeat this affirmation with enthusiasm at
least ten times everyday until it's ingrained into your
subconscious mind. If feel a little self conscious to begin
with lock yourself in the bathroom. The results will amaze
you.
2. Feel good about yourself. Look your best. Dress up more
often. This gives you an extra feeling of confidence and self
esteem. On its own just knowing that you look good will boost
your confidence and reinforce with others that there are things
about you that are worth getting to know.
3. Take a risk at least once a day. It's very invigorating
and conquering fears by taking risks helps you grow in
confidence and self esteem. Start with small risks and fears
and as you overcome them move onto bigger things. There's
nothing you cannot do. Be confident in knowing that change can
only help you grow, and boost your self confidence.
4. When you are engaged in a one to one conversation, or
with a larger group of people, let them know that you're shy.
This prevents them from misreading you and they are far more
likely to invite you into the conversation rather than leave
you just listening and wishing you could contribute.
Many people, me included, find following a conversation in a
noisy room difficult. If you are having difficulty say so and
move so that you can hear. People respect honesty, and
vulnerability and you will attract more honest people into your
life as a result.
5. Rejection is a fact of life that everyone experiences. It
is rarely you that is being rejected. If you are rejected, for
example if you ask someone for a date, remember that everyone
has different likes and dislikes. You may be attracted to one
type of person and not others. The same applies to other people
and you are probably just not their type. That does not devalue
you in any way. Accept this and know that you will get over it.
Never take it personally and keep in mind that if people reject
you it is because of their own likes and dislikes and not
because of who you are. You are equally entitled to reject
others because of your likes and dislikes.
6. Engage in an activities that make you feel excited and
good about yourself or start a hobby that gives you a feeling
of relaxation. This could be anything from gardening to Tai Chi
to Karate. Take some lessons, learn or master a musical
instrument or take singing lessons. Do something that excites
you and take a risk. Exploring things that make you feel
excited is a great antidote for shyness.
