Overcome Shyness Keep a Diary


Dear Diary
Sometimes you become so used to feeling shy that you do not realize there are times you do not feel shy nor act shy. You think of yourself as shy and you think a lot about feeling and being shy. For some people their shyness takes over and they can not see themselves in any other way but shy period. It can be so mind consuming that if someone asks you what you do (meaning what is your occupation) you reply, “I am shy.”

In order to prove to yourself that you are not shy 24/7 you should keep a diary. Write down all the times you felt and acted shy. Write down all the times you felt shy but did not act shy. Write down all the times you did not feel shy and did not act shy.

This diary is important. One thing it will do is show you the specific situations you feel shy and act shy, the specific situations you feel shy and do not act shy and the specific situations you do not feel nor act shy. Remember information is important. It is important in accessing your shyness. It is important in tackling your shyness. This diary will show you where you need to work on your shyness. Once you see the specific situations that you need to work on you can come up with a game plan.

You will also discover that your shyness may not be as overwhelming as you thought. You will also discover that in certain situations you have overcome your shyness.

Let me know what you discover.
