Shyness and Social Anxiety

If you suffer from shyness and social anxiety, then you should know how awful it feels when you feel anxious. Not only your mind races and you feel unsafe and terrible on the inside, but you also have physical symptoms outside. Everyone can see you as you are sweating for no reason, shaking uncontrollably, and blush at the worst possible time.

In this article I will show you how you can overcome the physical symptoms so that people can not see you feel anxious. You will be able to get some control over your physical symptoms of social anxiety. And because you will no longer need to worry about how you look to others, your anxiety is actually going down significantly. I will teach you the techniques associated with relaxation. Relaxation is the opposite of anxiety. By consciously choosing to make yourself more relaxed, you will be able to control your anxiety.


There are two parts to it. The first part is learning how to be more relaxed themselves in the comfort of your own home. The second part is to use the technique in real life to help you become more relaxed when you need them. Believe me, relaxation techniques I will show you are a boon when it comes time to deal with social situations you are most afraid.

So the first part of this technique is to sit or lie down in a place where you feel comfortable. The best way is if you yourself so you feel a little anxiety as possible. Now go through your body and relax every part of it. Starting from your head and move your way down to your feet, relax each muscle group that you pass. First relax your forehead, let your jaw go loose, drop your shoulders. The idea is to release as much tension as you possibly can. If it helps, you can try to imagine a relaxing beach or stream in your head. Then just lay there for a few minutes and try to get a feel of how it feels to be completely relaxed.


The second part is to then take this relaxed feeling into your everyday life. Throughout the day, remember to relax your muscle groups individually. Go casual and loose as you can get. The more relaxed you can make your body becomes, the more anxiety you will begin to go away.

Remember, the first step is to practice being relaxed in your home. Many socially anxious people are so tense all the time they do not really know how relaxation feels. The second step is to become more relaxed as you are around people. The best time to use this technique is when you feel very anxious.
