Have you ever been talking to someone you really like, I mean you've got a FAT crush on this person and for some reason when you're around them you're the most awkward, uncomfortable, nervous person on the planet -____-

But then, when it comes to someone you're not necessarily interested in, your incredibly sexy, funny, smooth, suave side comes out and everything you say suddenly sounds awesome?

Or better yet, maybe you're totally cool talking to people you know but when it comes to talking to a stranger or meeting someone new your brain decides now would be a good time to shut down and you start stuttering and you turn red and they notice and you're thinking in your head "this is my nightmare!".

I don't know about you (but I'm feelin' 22 t-swift lolz) but I've been there way too many times.

And for the longest time I didn't get it.

Why is it with some people we can easily have chill conversations and with other people we freeze up and can't even put real words together?

But I finally got it, I figured this one out and I'm passing on the holy grail of overcoming social anxiety to you. Just make sure you replace it with something of about the same weight or the entire temple will crumble and a giant boulder will chase after us. AH! Haha

Anyway, in today's episode I'm giving you 3 quick tips that helped me overcome my own social anxiety and nervousness in talking to new people and I bet they'll help you too.

Something I'd also like to add is that I'm in no way belittling this issue I’m simply offering solutions in a condensed format but what’s interesting is that many of us are taught or conditioned to think we have this huge issue and lifelong struggle and then we’re prescribed tons of medications as a first resort solution as opposed to practicing simpler, more natural, cognitive and proven methods to resolve this within ourselves.

There’s plenty of evidence that shows chemical imbalances can be influenced and changed through our own beliefs and physiology. This can be seen in the work of Amy Cuddy and how she discovered an increase in testosterone production and decrease in the secretion of cortisol when we apply certain physiological patterns and body language. It’s also seen in Kelly McGonigal work on stress and how simply believing that stress is bad for you can induce ailments and take years off your life as opposed to experiencing stress and believing it to be a normal state of being. The mind-body connection is massive and highly-explored through a number of different studies over the years. I know you mean well and I can see that you know my intentions are good While it’s difficult to explain an in-depth, universal solution to an issue like this, I want to share with people that there are ways in which we can take back control of our physiology, biochemistry and emotional states. And while modern medicine can be helpful in some circumstances, there are a number of other really powerful solutions when we go in-depth on how the mind and body actually work.

Here's a couple other resources for learning more about how our minds can influence how biochemistry and physiology.
