Do you know what you really want in life? Do you have a plan for overcoming your social anxiety? When I was struggling with my anxiety I could easily answer ‘no’ to both of those questions. I was really stuck to know what direction to take my life in and making a plan for overcoming my social anxiety was definitely not something I was actively thinking about. I felt twisted up inside about knowing what I should do with my life, nothing felt right and I just felt stuck with it. I have spoken to many people with social anxiety who feel the same and that is why I have created a three part audio presentation on goal setting to help address this problem. Sometimes it is not knowing what the answers are that is the problem, but rather how we are trying to answer the question, and that is what I address in this new free download. I also address issues surrounding fears of failure.

My Experiences on Video

I created this video to help encourage more people to come along to Social Anxiety West in Bristol, but I thought I would share it here also. I talk about what social anxiety was like for me, including feeling unable to speak and physical symptoms, and how I found a self-help group helpful.

I was scanning through the new blog entries in my feed reader this morning for anything of interest when a new entry by Stephen Covey caught my eye. I thought this might be a good time to introduce him to you.

If you have not heard of him, Stephen is one of, if not the best selling personal development author in the world. He is very popular in the business world, although what he teaches is equally applicable to all people. The focus of his work is quite limited, but it is so profound that it does not require expansion. There is infinite wisdom to be gained from his timeless principles.

I was lucky enough to stumble across his work when I was overcoming my social anxiety and it definitely played a significant role in the changes I made back then. I started listening to his “Seven Habits of Highly Effective People” audio book and found only true wisdom that challenged how I had been living my life.

What he teaches does not focus on helping people with social anxiety or even mention it at all, but it is well worth learning. Do not expect to find quick fixes or magic answers, his workÂ is for serious students who are willing to put in the effort to create the life they desire. As you may know by now, I am not into quick fixes as they generally do not fix anything and only delay the process of change,Â so I would encourage you to become a serious student of life. I promise, the rewards are far greater than the effort invested.

I shall leave you with the blog entry I read today. It is so true and timeless, as is all of Covey’s work. I hope you recognise the wisdom in it.
