Most Realistic Way to Reduce Anxiety (Exposure) - Episode 52

9m · Social Anxiety Society · 15 Nov 18:57

Want to reduce social anxiety? Check out this realistic method that might be a bit difficult at first, but it “works” well.

I remember years ago when I was first unwinding the layers of social anxiety I was trying everything and anything I could experiment with to help me out.

I would go to the mall or another crowded area and I would basically experiment and talk with strangers. Now, I know depending on who you are, that might sound out of this world.

But, bear with me.

Disclaimer: If this is your first time taking action on your social anxiety or do not have an actionable recovery plan. I highly DO NOT RECOMMEND starting off with this as your first step. Why? Doing this is difficult. I recommend trying out the other practices to reduce and recover from social anxiety before you start doing this for the best results.

5 Steps to Better Emotional Wellness - Episode 57

It’s never been a more important time to prioritize emotional wellness.

The National Center For Emotional Wellness defines emotional wellness as "an awareness, understanding, and acceptance of our feelings, and our ability to manage effectively through challenges and change."

Learning more about emotional wellness is crucial as many misconceptions currently fog our judgment around emotions. Many of us believe the goal is about “not having feelings” but rather learning what to do with them.

Emotions are one of the fastest forms of communication between our body and mind. When something happens, or someone says something, we often immediately feel our body communicating via emotion.

The best leaders and communicators understand the importance of upgrading emotional wellness to improve any situation and stress levels.

Master emotional wellness with these five key steps...

How What You Wear Impacts Social Anxiety - Episode 55

We are all aware to some degree of how our clothes impact our confidence. What we choose to wear is the most outer layer of how we are perceived by the world.

If we’re going to a formal event, dress formally, or else you will stick out negatively.

Whereas others of us who grew up in certain cultural or family beliefs might think someone who dresses in particular clothes is a particular kind of person, etc.

What you wear matters…

But not for the reason you would think.

We probably don’t think twice about what we are going to wear and how it may impact ourselves and our anxiety. Today we will discuss the role of our clothes and social anxiety.
