    How to Eliminate Shyness

    What You'll Also Discover Inside...

    Expect more from yourself than others. The good news - everybody believes in what you show. Nobody can read your thoughts to know your fears. The bad news - you can interpret every people's speech in a wrong way. Any weird reaction and you start worrying without any reason. Psychologists recommend listening to your "inner voice". Make this experiment: note down every thought while you are lacking of self-confidence. Every time you start worrying, do a three-minute break. Take the list and remind yourself how good you are. Show to your mind the material proof of your self-confidence.

    Communicate with positive and confident people more. Positive people are not trying to pressure you. Choose or rearrange your social circle, as it directly affects your self-esteem. There is a right phrase - "Lives with the cripple, learns how to limp".

    Exercise. Once you exercise, even just simple walking, you'll find out that you get this surge of adrenaline. This is because happy hormones are released and therefore, you feel more confident about yourself, and more confident that you are actually capable of doing great things. Plus, once you exercise, you'll get to be healthy and very beautiful, too.

    This book will help you to improve your self-confidence to overcome social anxiety and shyness.  

    I would like to encourage you to begin the journey by looking at yourself and accepting what you see. There can never be another you so be all you can be for the time being.   

    The next step is to put the things you have learned in action and begin to change your life.

      Mindfulness - Dr. Michael Ericsson

      Chapter 1 –  How to Improve Your Self-Esteem

      Experts describe self-esteem as the overall perspective of a person on his or her value. It is one’s view of the self and one’s attitude towards it. Do you feel worthy? Do you feel capable? Are you proud of yourself? Are you inspired? Do you know yourself, and are you proud of that? Only you can decide.

      If you constantly doubt your self-worth and capabilities, if you have no trust in your qualifications and skills and ultimately no pride in yourself, and if you find yourself feeling worthless, then you have issues with self-esteem, and you need to address that before it goes out of hand.

      What does a low self-esteem do?

      1. Poor health as a result of eating disorders, and low energy levels because you are so busy pleasing everybody but yourself.

      2. Missed career opportunities as a result of the echo in your head that says you cannot do it. Low self-esteem makes you feel inappropriate and unworthy hence hinders you from taking risks and creating something.

      3. Sexual problems are closely related to self-esteem issues because it is all about an individual’s problem with his or her image. Low self-esteem leads to low sex drive and addictions. People seek help for these only to find that there existed deeper rooted issues that manifested themselves as sexual addiction or sexual problems.

      4. Low self-esteem harms your emotions because you find yourself unable to put your feelings to the fore. It hinders you from accepting your weaknesses and sharing intimacy on many levels with a partner. You find yourself being either too shy and come across as aloof or too aggressive when all you needed was a shoulder to lean on.

      The first step to improving your self-esteem is by challenging his messages of criticism to you. Replace them with opposite and positive messages. An example of a negative inner voice is when you are ‘told’ These people will never like me, I am too short and inappropriate, or They think I am spoilt and stuck up. Acknowledge your strengths and say I am the best there can ever be, I am awesome, or I have a kind heart for helping people.

      Be good to yourself

      If you know that you would give a shoulder to a friend who is in a rough place, then you should do the same for yourself. You should be the first person to receive that support and commiseration. Give yourself that support; be a fellow with yourself and help ‘you.’ If you can give, then you should allow yourself to receive - especially during hard times. Be good and forgive yourself when something does not go as planned. Be gentle and support yourself instead of being critical when you fail, and most of all accept that things do not always turn out as expected.

      Understand and put thought in all that you do

      Make informed decisions, and avoid impulsiveness. If you do not live mindfully, your brain freezes, it is no longer able to send meaningful messages to you because you keep doing the opposite. For example, stop lying about things that you may not have or are not able to do. Stop lying to yourself that he or she loves you and that he or she will come around. Mixed signals will kill your mind. You are only making room for mental dysfunction. Do not trick your mind anymore into believing things that are not true and hence living a lie. Accept things the way they are; it is a daily walk.

      Live your life to its potential

      You alone are responsible for your happiness. So they told you that you are not good enough? It has nothing to do with you; they have the problem, not you. No man created another; everybody is entitled to their own opinion, but if you take that to be the food upon which your soul feeds, you are going nowhere.

      Do not listen to negativity from people

      You alone can make your life heaven or hell. Isn’t it great that the power to do all these lies in your hands? Wake up and smell the coffee because your time for living for other people is over.

      Call a friend

      Gather enough courage and start by asking someone that you trust or are close with to tell you some of the things that they like in you and that they think you are good at. The next step is you vent your feelings towards them. You need to have gathered enough courage to be able to tell everything you are feeling without holding back. Let it all out, and when you begin to cry, let them hug you but not try to fix anything or tell you it will be okay. Let it flow and lay it all on the ground. Ask for a hug also, and let them remind you that they love you. Again, her or she should be someone you can trust and has been there for you before.

      Practice personal integrity

      Developing and maturing requires you to develop your own standards or get them from others. Integrity means integrating our standards and values in how we behave and in everything that we do. It is a matter of matching our standards and convictions to our actions and behavior. When you more often refuse to strike this balance, your self-esteem falls into uncertainty. Acting against what you hold to be morally upright is betraying your mind and creating an imbalance in your thoughts. Betraying your integrity means betraying yourself. Practice what you believe to be on the right track and redeem your self-esteem.

      Chapter 2 - How to Explore Yourself

      The best investment you can ever make is one that you make in yourself. Self-investment can yield instant pay-off and amazing future returns. If you want to become more productive, then you need to prioritize your growth both personally and professionally. It is the key to a more successful and enjoyable life.

      Read to fuel your mind

      One of the things all successful people have in common is the passion for reading books. Read not just for entertainment. Take up reading as a hobby. Charles William Eliot once said, Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counselors and the most patient of teachers.

      Read materials that increase your knowledge of the world and of yourself. Read materials that can teach you a new set of skills and help you to become a better version of yourself. Read books that challenge you and motivate you to step it up.

      Invest in personal growth courses

      The brain works like a muscle. It gets much stronger when you use and exercise it. On the other hand, it becomes weaker if you do nothing with it. Engage in activities that challenge you. Try out something new. These things allow you to stretch your skillset to ways you have never reached before.

      Learn a new language. Attend workshops and conferences. Improve your education in every possible way you can. New activities challenge you to discover new things that will otherwise remain hidden and untapped.

      Explore your creativity

      Every individual has a gift of creativity. For some people, it is quite obvious but for others, it has to be unearthed. Tap into your creative side. It could hold the key to unlocking your highest potential.

      Creativity is not just about creating beautiful ideas. Creativity can help you approach problems in different ways and find solutions outside the box. Creativity forces us to use other parts of our brain that may be untapped but are equally crucial for our individual growth.

      In truth, creativity comes in many forms. It is not just exclusive for musicians, writers or painters. In essence, creativity is about exploring new things.

      Write something. Cook or make your own clothes. Take pictures of a beautiful landscape. Pick something you have never dared try before. Explore it fully and you may be surprised at the things it can help you discover.

      Find a mentor

      Is there a specific set of skills you want to develop? In addition to attending extra courses, you can also get a mentor. Consider anyone who succeeded in that area. Reach out to him. A mentor can teach you the tricks of the trade. More importantly, a mentor can serve as an inspiration and a source of great connections.

      Successful people do not stop being students. Rather, they continue to push themselves outside their comfort zone.

      These people are life-long learners. They are never afraid of unfamiliar things or if they fail in the process of trying. In the words of Albert Einstein, Intellectual growth should commence at birth and cease only at death.

      Have a balanced life

      Leading a successful career does not require you to spend all your time on the job. Many people think they have to sacrifice everything else to build their careers. The truth is a balanced life is essential in success. You do not necessarily have to choose between your personal and professional life. The key to happiness is to find a balance.

      Switch off

      Learn to disconnect from the rest of the world so that wherever you are, you are completely present. Put your phone away. Turn off your computer. Take a real break and not think about work. Allow your brain to take a rest from all that. Interact with your family and friends. Be there with them completely. It is going to be a real challenge to disconnect from the rest of the world, but it is totally worth it.

      Simplify

      You have to realize that you do not need a lot. Having more than you can handle will only cause you a great deal of stress. Avoid saying yes to everything or getting your
