Find Your Alter-Ego And Get Rid Of Shyness
One of the best ways to improve confidence is through preparation for an event or situation. When you know (or sort of know) what to expect or what might happen, you don't have to think and worry about the unexpected. Your brain and instincts takeover and allow you to enjoy the moment. You know what's coming and what's about to happen so you don't feel anxious and nervous.
You become more engaged with your date (or friends)... And you're able to relax and have a good time.
Or, show off your "skills" and wit.
Or, ask better questions to get others engaged and talking.
Preparation is something you should practice often. It will make social situations become a lot more natural to you. And, you'll feel just as comfortable and have a good time like everyone else.
But, another way to improve your confidence and to get rid of shyness is by DISCOVERING and USING your Alter-Ego. We all have one - a fierce and courageous personality that roams on a higher level within our psyche.
A higher level of Energy.
A higher Force.
A higher Power.
A higher level of strength and confidence that we are able to tap into IF we are willing to move out of our comfort zone and face our challenges and tests in life.
Beyonce talked about having an alter-ego: "Sasha Fierce".
Other celebrities use their alter-egos to conquer stage fright or to deal with the public.
Some salespeople rely on their alter-ego to deal with strong-willed customers in negotiations.
Many ordinary people (especially the ones who go out to night clubs) have alter-egos that they call upon before they go out at night, because they want to feel confident and have a good time.
Actors, I'm sure, have an alter-ego (or maybe even multiple personalities) to get into their acting roles as superheroes or action heroes or as sex symbols.
There's nothing wrong with that. You should dig deep and discover yours.
Sometimes you have to get in the Zone and take your mindset to that next level if you want to conquer your fears - or a particular situation.
I'm convinced that a lot of guys and girls (women) out there could discover who they are in life or what they really want to do in life if they weren't afraid to be WHO THEY REALLY ARE. They've always been what OTHER people wanted them to be. They've always done what OTHER people have wanted them to do. Their True Self (maybe their true Ego) is hidden way way Way down deep within their psyche (or subconscious). And, they're afraid to let it out!
These shy and awkward-feeling folks are "out of touch" and afraid to approach and meet new people.
They're afraid to face certain challenges in life.
They only dream about the life they want and don't believe in themselves enough to make that life come true.
They need to say "Fuck it", and just go for what they want out of life.
Don't worry about being rejected or failing or making mistakes. Just do it.
Everybody makes mistakes.
Learn. Use your instincts. Do your due diligence and research so that you can minimize mistakes. But, don't let Fear keep you from moving forward or growing or meeting new people.
Use your Alter-Ego and boost your Confidence!
Sometimes it may take another person to bring out that extra boost and confidence you need.
It's possible a mentor can help you find your true self or your alter-ego.
Sometimes it might take a certain situation to bring out these emotions or the character and Power you need to change your life or boost your Confidence.
Don't fall into the "cookie-cutter" model...
Alter-Egos come in all shapes and sizes and colors.
Some are like Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft.
Some are like Edward Cullen, the vampire character of the Twilight Series.
Some are like Oprah Winfrey, the media mogul.
Some are like RockStars.
Some have the coolness and suaveness of the actor Denzel Washington.
Yours will be unique to You and give you the strength you need to be a true Leader.
You only have to find ways to draw it out.
And, it will be unique and stronger than you ever imagined.
Walk tall and let it overtake your senses, emotions, character, and personality. And when it does, hold fast to it and do the right thing for your life and for love.
