In this cyber world of email, computer games, ATM's and other automated services anxiety and insecurity is on the increase as society fails to develop the social skills we need for human interaction. It used to be thought that Shyness was purely a product of our environment but we are beginning to understand that there is also an element of genetics involved. Whatever the cause though there are effective ways available to us that will help us overcome our shyness. The first strategy that will help you overcome your anxiety is to clearly identify your personal triggers. Is it public speaking? Is it parties or other social gatherings? Focus on how you feel before these events. Do you project into the future and tell yourself in advance exactly how you are going to react? What physical symptoms do you experience? Give all your focus to the physical sensations you experience without attaching a story to them. Go as deeply into the sensations as you can. Where are they in your body? Do they move into different areas of the body as your anxiety grows? When we experience the physical symptoms of the anxiety without giving weight to the thoughts attached to them then what you are doing is disempowering the thought. Try this practice whenever you remember to and over a period of time you will notice the anxiety diminish considerably. As part of this process of deconstructing the negative thought patterns that create the stress you can also write down the stories that come up for you. As soon as they appear in your mind put them down on paper. Doing this can be incredibly enlightening. While the thoughts remain in mind space they exercise a power over you. When you see them in black and white these thoughts come often seem quite ridiculous. Use the following questions to help you eradicate these negative thoughts. Is this story true? Can you really know it is true? How does the thought make you feel? Where would you be without this thought? The last part of this powerfully healing process is to replace the negative thought patterns with positive ones. Take the stories you have written down and try to find their turnarounds. Write down the exact opposite of that story. Could that be equally true? Replay the new positive thought as a mantra and watch your self esteem grow.
