Unlocking the Power Within: Overcoming Social Anxiety

🤝 Loneliness can be felt even when surrounded by friends, family, or in a relationship.

😷 Many people put on a mask and pretend to be fine, hiding their true feelings and struggles.

👶 Social conditioning teaches us to perform and conform from a young age, suppressing our true selves.

💡 Around the age of two, children start becoming more self-conscious and aware of others' opinions about them.

✨ This awareness leads to a fear of disapproval, which becomes the currency of their survival.

🌍 Children's perspective of the world is limited to their family and school, and situations that may seem insignificant to adults can be traumatic for them.

🔑 Suppressing parts of ourselves, such as being loud, can stem from childhood experiences where those behaviors threatened our survival.

🔑 When we avoid facing our fears and keep parts of ourselves locked away, it prevents us from feeling whole and impacts our self-worth and self-esteem.

🔑 Society conditions us to believe that we are not born good enough and that we need external validation and success to compensate for our perceived defects.

🔑 Reowning the parts of yourself that you have disowned is essential for feeling at home with yourself.

🔑 One external technique that can help with reowning and embodying disowned parts is the action trigger release repeat method.

🔑 Screaming as loud as you can in a safe environment can trigger resistance and tension and help release them.

📌 Talking quietly for a long time can feel normal internally but may come across as too quiet externally.

🔊 Retraining oneself to speak at a normal volume can help overcome social anxiety and improve communication skills.

🎙️ Using extreme examples to illustrate the difference between forcing loudness and achieving true power in expression.

🔑 Letting go allows you to loosen up and be yourself, whether you're loud or quiet.

🔒 Being quiet but charismatic is a choice, while being quiet out of obligation is driven by fear.

🚗 Motivational fuels, such as fear and anger, can be used temporarily, but purpose and love are the ideal ones.

🗣️ Expressing anger and being true to yourself can bring out a sense of empowerment and authenticity.

🔊 Increasing the volume of your expression can have a transformative effect on your confidence and presence.

🤯 Overcoming resistance and self-doubt is key to unlocking your potential and embracing your true self.
