Social Anxiety, just what the hell is it? Well, for me its the deep rooted fear of what other people think of you – Its mental and emotional pain - Its fear of people regardless of their status, looks, job title, income.. your quite literally afraid of everyone! There's no escaping it either.. Becoming a Hermit and dropping out isn't an option… in order to do pretty much anything requires you to interact with other human beings… going the supermarket, going to work, going the bank etc.. I suppose there's always the booze to numb the pain.. but that's only a temporary solution. I personally had crippling social anxiety for years, anywhere there would be people, whether it be family, good friends or strangers, I would feel incredibly nervous & tense, my neck and shoulders would ache… I was constantly afraid of what others thought of me… judging myself, imagining seeing what the people around me saw, I was a complete ball of stress and worry… Public speaki

If one didn't want to face how they were feeling or what was taking place in their life, there are going to be a number of things that they can do. The reason for this is that there are plenty of options in today's world when one wants to avoid reality. It could be said that this is because there is generally a greater focus on avoiding what is taking place than on facing what is taking place. As a result of this, it is to be expected that there will be an imbalance when it comes to what options are available. Normal In fact, when one does avoid what is taking place for them, they might not feel as though they are doing anything out of the ordinary. There is the chance that they have behaved in this way for most of their life, and the people around them may have also have the same approach. Now, this doesn't mean that one will always behave it this way, as there can still be moments when this is not the case. Along with this, it is not always going to be possible

One thing that all humans have in common is the need to process and recall information. Our minds are constantly consuming and retrieving knowledge from the time we are born. By the time we reach adulthood, our brains have millions of neural pathways that help us process knowledge and execute complex tasks with minimum effort. But if you always stick to the same tasks day in and day out, the mind will weaken. The brain is like body muscle – it loves a challenging workout! These five simple exercises will help sharpen your mind and enhance your memory. 1. Test your recall Make a list – of supermarket items, important dates, tasks to do etc. – and memorize them. See how many items you can recall an hour later. Keep adding more items to increase the challenge level, so that you can improve each time. 2. Do mental maths Work out calculations in your head without the help of pencil, paper, or a smartphone. You can up the difficulty level by performing other tasks at the same ti

As we all know, being productive isn't easy and if you read my last post you'll know exactly why it's so difficult and why it's not actually our fault. If you didn't read the post please check it out because it's a huge problem that affects all businesses and organisations. Having highlighted just how difficult it is to be productive and why, here are 7 things you can do straight away to get more done with your precious time. 1. Set a timer I do this all the time and am in fact doing this right now. Set the timer function (probably under the clock app) in your phone to 50 minutes. Add a sound alert and turn the phone face down on your desk. That way your attention won't be pulled away if the face lights up because you've received a text or some other alert. You now have 50 focused minutes to carry out your task. Of course you need to set your mindset too to say that when the timer is going you won't divert from the work that you need to

When one has an experience that has a positive effect on them, they are likely to play it through their mind after it has taken place. This could be something that goes on for days, weeks and even months; in fact, it could go on for years. However, as the experience causes them to experience positive feelings, thoughts and sensations, this is unlikely to be seen as a problem. It is going to be something that one is only too happy to experience again and again. A Distraction If it did become a problem, it could be because it stops one from being able to live in the present moment. This means that it won't be possible for them to make the most of what is currently taking place in their life. Still, even though this could occur and one could find it hard to focus, it doesn't mean that it will bring one's life to a standstill. On the plus side, this could be something that will cause one to be inspired. A New Force Through tuning into what took place, one could b

If one was to go shopping and they were to speak to someone who works in a store, it is highly unlikely that they will expect them to treat them like a close friend would. In fact, they might not know what to expect from them. This is something that can all depend on how they are treated by the people they spend their time with. When one is treated well by these people, they could expect to be treated with respect by the people who work in these kinds of places. The Other Side Alternatively, if one is used to being treated badly by the people they spend their time with, they might expect the same treatment when they go out. This is then going to be what is normal and it is not going to stand out when other people treat them in the same way. However, even if one is used to being treated well by the people they spend their time with, it doesn't mean that they will expect the same when they go out. This could be because they live somewhere where the customer service is not
