Overcome Shyness with the Baby Step Method

Good morning to all the shy people out there. Today I am going to share with you something exciting and special.

Shy people are great people who in some social settings lack confidence. Take a moment to let that seep into your being. So now we have established that you are great. But what about the confidence part? I looked up the word confidence and here are some definitions;

Assurance
Freedom from doubt
Belief in yourself and your abilities

Assurance – Do you feel self assured? Not when you feel shy.
Freedom from doubt - Do you doubt yourself? Yes when you feel shy.
Belief in yourself and your abilities – Do you believe in yourself and your abilities? Not when you feel shy.

Do you notice a pattern here? I do. Things are okay when you do not feel shy. So let’s see what we can do about this feeling of shyness. Let’s accept it as a part of you. Let’s accept that it is a part of you that will no longer stand in your way.

I can see you shaking your head with disbelief. You have been shy all your life. So what?? You do not have to be shy for the rest of your life.

Let’s get started in confidence building. I want you to think back to when you were a baby. Were you born walking? Of course not. One day you discovered crawling. Later on you discovered standing up while holding on to something. Later on you could stand up on your own. Later on you took some steps. Later on you were walking. How did that happen? It happened because you took baby steps. One thing at a time. One baby step led to another baby step until you were walking. After many baby steps you developed confidence.

So let’s take the first step. Step one is so simple you will laugh. Admit to yourself that you are shy SOMETIMES. Then say, “SO WHAT” and smile.

Stay tuned for your next baby step.
