      Become Superhuman - Dr. Michael Ericsson

      Chapter 1 –  How to Get Rid of Anxiety and Depression

      Social anxiety is one of the reasons why people lose self-confidence and get nervous being around people. It is a discomfort when someone in social interactions fears of being judged and/or evaluated by others. Social anxiety is often characterized by an intense fear of what others around them are thinking resulting to a person's emotions of insecurity and not being good enough to get attention to. Additionally it is assuming that an individual will automatically be rejected.

      Consider these questions:

      1. Do you feel nervous when you are in public situations, like in parties or just being out in public?

      2. Do you often have a hard time participating in social gatherings because of extreme shyness?

      3. Do you have the tendency to shy away from people?

      4. Do you stress about being embarrassed in social settings?

      5. Do you feel like you have nothing to add in conversations and that means you end up not speaking or withdrawing all together?

      6. Do you worry about other people noticing how nervous you are around them?

      If you replied yes to these questions, you might be experiencing the signs of social anxiety.

      To beat social anxiety, you'll need to master a few strategies.

      Challenge your unhelpful thoughts

      Your thinking has huge influences on your social anxiety issues. Many of these thoughts happen in your subconscious, thus, you cannot control them, and they can either be negative or unhelpful thoughts. It's important to keep in mind that these thoughts stay as mere thoughts. These thoughts do not necessarily have to be factual.

      To challenge those negative and unhelpful thoughts, you will need to question these thoughts; because almost all of the time, these thoughts are simply just based on wrong assumptions.

      The first step to challenging your thoughts is to identify that these are negative thoughts. Establish what these unhelpful thoughts are and discuss them in your mind on how you can make a few changes in your way of thinking. What are these negative thoughts?

      These are some of the common negative thoughts that socially anxious individuals feed their brain with:

      Common negative thoughts before getting into the social situations:

      I might embarrass myself.

      I don't have anything to contribute in the conversation.

      I know I'll stammer.

      I'll appear to be a fool.

      Common negative thoughts while engaged in social situations:

      All of them are looking at me.

      I am stammering.

      I am inadequate.

      Common negative thoughts after public situations:

      They all thought I was a fool.

      Now they know that I am a fool.

      I was not smart enough to sustain the conversation.

      Unhelpful thoughts about yourself:

      No one likes me.

      I am not a good conversationalist.

      I'm an idiot.

      These are only a few examples of unhelpful thoughts that have great impacts on how you deal with social situations. Examine your thoughts. Are the ones listed here the same as your own thoughts?

      What you can do

      Think about the time when you were socially stressed.

      Consider your thoughts while you were in that situation.

      Understand and isolate the negative thoughts.

      Challenge these thoughts in your head.

      Be aware of the common thought patterns that you have.

      Recognizing your thought patterns:

      Making predictions. If you're socially anxious, it is not unusual for you to think about the future. You may have the tendency to predict what might fail. Most of the time, those predictions do not become reality. So you end up spending your time and energy worrying.

      Too much generalizing a situation will make you more stressed.

      Thinking about what could happen wrong.

      Methods to challenge the negative thoughts

      To accurately demonstrate, here is an example of a negative thought: I don't have anything to say and they will all think that I am an idiot.

      Now, you can ask these questions to challenge that negative thought:

      Do you have evidence to contradict your negative thought?

      Do you identify a common pattern?

      What do you think your friends would tell you if they knew what your thoughts are?

      How will you feel about this situation in six months?

      Is there any other way that you can manage the situation?

      Stop focusing on yourself

      You may be doing it unconsciously but if you are socially anxious, you tend to focus on the way you act in front of the group. You are too worried about how your anxiety might manifest so you become too conscious that you lose focus on the actual discussions and individuals you are with.

      Make an effort to divert your focus on others and not on your own actions. Keep in mind that anxiety is less noticeable than it actually is. If you do observe some noticeable manifestation, it doesn't follow that something bad might happen. Everyone becomes anxious sooner or later so don't think that anxiety is isolated to you alone.

      Do not over-analyze things or situations. Socialization is not meant to be analyzed. Don't even replay elements of the conversation in your thoughts but concentrate on what is taking place in the present.

      Learn to relax. You don't need to pretend and no need to impress others. Just be yourself.

      Chapter 2 - How to Improve Your Body Language

      What makes charismatic people appear more fascinating and appealing isn't only the way they talk, but also how they move. Charisma as a behavioral characteristic is something that runs beyond words; it also extends to non-verbal types of communication. You should develop an eye and an ear for these types of things in order that you can stick to top of each situation.

      Essentially, it all boils down to reciprocity: treat others the way you want to be treated. If you want to be treated with value, for example, you should treat others with respect, too. You do so, however, with a conscious regard to keep carefully the dynamics of your charismatic self. So while it is true that respect should be mutually afforded, you want to keep the upper hand of things by ensuring that you still project a subtext of power and retain a strong presence.

      Here are some things that you can do to improve your body language:

      Smile. Nothing eases tension and awkwardness between two strangers more than the view of a smiling face. You instantly look more accommodating and dependable when you present a smiling countenance as opposed to when you are visibly annoyed.

      Give a firm handshake. This is indicative of self-reliance, strong-mindedness, and seriousness.

      Learn to concentrate. When talking to someone else, refrain from taking out your phone or else settling your gaze on a far-away object. Keep your attention to the individual you are speaking with as a form of courtesy and basic decency.

      Do not be fidgety. Remain continuous. Otherwise, you end up looking more tense and stressed than you really are.

      Maintain eye contact. This is an indication that you are listening and that you are focused on what the other person is saying. Be cautious, however, from overdoing it. Some people aren't comfortable engaging in a staring contest of sorts, very much so that they would voluntarily look somewhere else if they can't bear the awkwardness any longer.

      Show that you are listening by nodding once in a while. Nothing says that you are actually listening and absorbing what's being said more than those little nods you make once in a while.

      Present a polite demeanor. Refrain from raising your eyebrows, pouting your lips, wrinkling your nose, or shaking your head vigorously when you absolutely do not need to. You intend to come across as charismatic, not combative or hostile.

      Do not cross your legs or arms. These are indicators that you are embarrassing with the situation and that you are refusing to open yourself up to anyone present.

      All of the things mentioned above require regular practice. Your mastery of the things depends in large part to the occurrence with which you try them out and the width of your experience. Clearly, the greater used you get to these exact things, the better you feel at showing your charisma.

      To improve your skills further, consider practicing in the mirror. Stand in front of your mirror and pretend to be talking to yourself. While doing so, monitor your own gestures, your own facial expressions, and your own words. If you were to rate yourself based on your ability to project self-assurance and positivity, then what score will you give yourself? What areas of opportunity need to be addressed?  Apart from looking at yourself in the mirror, you can also take acting classes.

      While at first you may want to fake some gestures or control your mannerisms, know that these things should acquire flair of regularity. Quite simply, they have to eventually turn into a norm so you won't have to pretend and instead be real with yourself.

      While it is true that unleashing your internal charismatic self can be done - and it is not an inborn trait as others could have us consider - doing this nonetheless does take time, discipline, and commitment. Charisma is a learned art, one that can't be obtained over the course of a day or even a week. As such, it's important that you muster enough discipline to keep going. Indeed, with the right attitude and the right know-how to back it up, everyone can be charismatic.

      Chapter 3 - How to Meditate and Enjoy a Greater Life

      The purpose of meditation is to let your body calm while you concentrate on a thought or an empty mind for a set period of time. At first, this is quite tough to do especially if you are a person who finds it hard to concentrate. Usually, stress comes from being confused of so many thoughts that come into your head. Such thoughts are hard to manage and they just seem to consume your energy. Meditation can help you concentrate
