Anxiety solutions

My anxiety shows itself by avoiding situations I don't feel comfortable in. For example standing in front of a group or going to a bar on my own talking with strangers.
By confronting my anxiety in being in a situation I'd normally avoid, I overcome my anxiety.
If some situation makes your anxiety worse, confront it and overcome it.
It's hard in the beginning, but the reward after is amazing.

There was a program om tv that would confront teenagers with their anxiety. They were confronted with their fear of hights by bungeejumping. They cried and didn't want to do it, but some did. They were so proud of overcoming their fear of heights.
The ones who didn't jump, regret that they didn't jump. They got a second chance later and they jumped.
The excitement that they got after coming back up is amazing.

Another example is training for a marathon.
In the beginning running feels awful and your body doesn't want to make you feel uncomfortable. But if you keep pushing through those phases, you'll be able to run a marathon in the end! Keep pushing.
The same is happening with anxiety - your mind/body doesn't want you to get in situation. Train your spirit to be stronger than your body. The more you run, the better you'll get. The more you'll get in situations anxiety doesn't want you to be in, the easier it'll be.

Go overcome your anxiety! Get out of your comfort zone and take steps.
Good luck.

 

What if it’s our beliefs that are causing the anxiety?
In the case of talking to women, the woman always lets you know when she’s interested in you. When you become aware of this then there is no anxiety about being rejected.

 

If a woman is truly interested in you then she will let you know at some point, shy or not shy. It's up to us to pick up on the signals. In other words, it's a question of our awareness.

 

The only way to overcome your anxiety is to fight it with all your might...

 

When my anxiety was at its worst, I took an OTC supplement called 5-HTP (5-hydroxytryptophan) and it helped settle my nerves. As I maintained my current streak, I began using it less frequently and now, I don't use it at all. There is the occasional anxiety but it's nowhere near the level that it once was

 

If you were 100% aware of the reality of the situation then you would have realized that the woman wasn't interested in you, then there would be no need to make a move!

 

I never said I'm 100% aware of reality at all times. It's a state that takes years, even a lifetime, of work. Don't you think the more aware we are of our surroundings, of other people, and what's happening inside ourselves the more likely we are to navigate through each day with less self-induced anxiety?
