How To Overcome Shyness?

1. Figure out what makes you feel shy. Do you become shy in front of audiences? When learning a new skill? When venturing into a new situation? When surrounded by people you know and admire? When you don't know anyone somewhere? Try to pinpoint the thoughts that go through your head right before the shyness hits. Then come up with some "I" statements that you can repeat to yourself, like a mantra, to head off those thoughts: "I can do this", "I look good", "I have something to offer", etc.

2. Build your self confidence. Everyone has some special gift or trait to offer to the world. It sounds corny, but it's true. Think about what you know, what you can do, what you have accomplished, not about how you look or sound or dress. And keep in mind that everyone, even the "beautiful people", has something about themselves or their life that they don't like. There's no particular reason why your "problem" should make you shy while their "problem" doesn't make them shy.

o Get comfortable. Surround yourself with people who bring out the best in you, and build up your confidence through them. Eventually, this will translate to other situations being more comfortable.
o Close your eyes and visualize a situation where you might be shy. Now, in your mind's eye, make yourself feel confident. Do this often, and for different situations. This is most effective if you do this daily, especially in the morning. It might feel silly, but athletes use visualization to develop their skills, so why not you?
o Maintain close bonds with your friends, as they can be there for you as you crack out of your shell. They'll be glad to help and encourage you with your progress.

3. Look and act approachable. Convey an open, friendly attitude with your body language.

o Smile and make eye contact. A simple smile in the direction of a stranger may brighten your day, and it will brighten theirs, too! Smiling is a friendly way to acknowledge others, and it makes a pretty good lead-in to start a conversation with anyone, stranger or friend. It breaks the ice and loosens up your facial muscles, too.
o Practice good posture and speaking clearly. Standing tall gives the world the impression that you are self-confident and receptive to others. Speaking clearly will help avoid the potential embarrassment of needing to repeat what you said due to mumbling or talking too quietly.
o Laugh often, but only at things you find genuinely amusing. It will help ease any tension you may be feeling and will make you feel more relaxed.
o Don't look preoccupied. Don't work on papers, text or do your make-up if you want someone to talk to you.

4. Set goals for yourself. Focus on small, daily accomplishments, then gradually become more daring.

o Make a list of situations that make you feel anxious. Order them so that those things that cause you the least anxiety are first and those that cause you the most anxiety are last. Once you have a list of 10-15 stressful situations, start working through them, one-by-one. The first few "easier" situations will help build your confidence so that you can continue moving to more difficult situations on your list. Don't worry if you have to go backwards on the list sometimes; take it at your own pace, but make an effort to push yourself.
o Introduce yourself to one new person each day. It is often easier to talk with strangers, at least briefly. After all, you may never see them again, so who cares what they think about you?

5. Make new friends. Talk to somebody you would not normally think about having a conversation with. Try to find people who share one or more of your interests and find excuses to talk to them. It is great practice for more daring behavior, such as talking to popular, charismatic people. Initiate conversation with a simple starter, such as, "That's a nice bag, where did you get it?" or "It's really nice outside, don't you think?" Most people are good-natured and will be welcoming to your advances. People often indicate that they are interested in conversing by starting this way, so learn to take the bait when it arises, and try to say as much in response as possible.

6. Try doing stuff you never dreamed you would. Doing something really outlandish, like sky diving, will: a) provide an endorphin rush; and b) give you a story to tell when you are making conversation with people. And if you can find the courage to do something that big, then something like talking to a cute girl/guy should seem easy.

Tips:
• Remember that shyness is an emotion, not a permanent personality trait! You have the power to change your feelings of shyness and act in a bolder manner.
• There's nothing wrong with being shy, but there's nothing wrong with being outgoing either!
• Keep working at it. It may take you time to feel more comfortable, don't get discouraged.
• As time passes, you'll notice that you've actually beaten a bit of that shyness. Think of it as a motivation to keep on!
• If you think everyone is looking at you, such as when crossing the road or walking through a public place, watch someone else do the same thing and really take note to see if other people are watching that person. You will be surprised to realize that we are not that noticed by others in the grand scheme of things!
• Don't be afraid to seek professional help; group counseling, individual counseling, and therapy can help you along the way. Sometimes it's more than just shyness, and it's important to realize that. Social Anxiety Disorder is often seen as "extreme shyness", so make sure that you know what you have.
• Smile often. People will think of you as more approachable, and you will do better socially. Smile when people talk to you so they know you're interested in conversation.
• Give yourself lots of time to talk. Speaking slowly gives you more time to think about what to say, as well as often adding weight to your words.
• Shyness is sometimes seen as classy.
• Many children grow out of their shyness.
• Perhaps your shyness comes from stage fright? If you're having difficulties speaking in front of an audience, it is a good idea to choose a person in the audience that you feel comfortable around, and keep your eyes on them the entire time, as though your speech was directed at them. Eventually, you will be able to let your eyes roam around the room, connecting with each member of the audience.
• If speaking to a crowd simply chooses one person in the audience and focus in on that one person.
• Overcome stage fright by imagining you are someone else, such as a favorite celebrity you admire Picture yourself as that person until you feel comfortable onstage.
• Remember, if you find the courage to speak and not be afraid you will become more comfortable with that concept and eventually act that way almost all the time.

Warnings:
• Sometimes, shyness can be a serious obstacle to overcome. Be prepared for quite some work.
• Do not follow the old adage of envisioning the entire audience in their under-garments! This might make you laugh, which is not a good thing, especially if it's a serious speech!
• Avoid turning to alcohol or drugs to overcome shyness. It will likely end in a bad situation.
• If you were known for being shy amongst family members and friends, watch out for the harmless teasing. Some may be uncomfortable with you existing outside the category they've put you in, in their own minds. Ignore them. They mean well, but don't let them scare you back into your shell!
• Don't be TOO confident!
• Remember, you are human just like everyone else. Someone else might have way more problems then you but still more out going then you. Just be human, start speaking your mind, and don't care about what people think about you. At least they're thinking about you.

My Masterpiece!

ALL BY MYSELF
Naths Ryder


When I was just a little boy,
My life was very interesting and full of joy.
Friends have seen me as being vivacious,
Because for me everything is precious.

I yearned to have a peaceful and meaningful life.
To love and to be loved all day light.
To have a stable job and family will unite.
But to my surprise, it has gone from sight.

I have grown up without proper guidance and direction
Doing everything without taking into consideration
I don’t know where I am leading
It seems that my life has no meaning.

All by myself, I faced the problems
Sorrows, pains and heartaches that overwhelms
I have ambitions but still remain dreams
Perhaps I can’t achieve those longings due to strains

Shyness is my biggest weakness
It hindered my emotional maturity and happiness
Half of my life and momentous times I miss
Many viewed me as unfriendly and so I feel uneasiness

I feel I’m not matured enough to be independent
I feel like a child in mind not prudent
I feel much seldom and boredom
Inside me I feel like having a frightful breakdown

I am a peaceful and shy person
Having many perspirations and only inspiration
I used to live in an anarchic situation
I’m frightened due to quarrels and contentions.

Everytime my heart beats faster
I am always thinking of what will happen later
It seems that every word they utter
Shakes my whole world, so I can’t move proper

Truly I’m not happy and contented at all
I feel like unimportant and pitiable
To do great things I’m disable
Maybe I should have to wait and be humble

How I wish to have a miraculous situation
How I wanted to feel a tender loving affection
I hope it will come to reality, not just an illusion
That I am living in a true imagination.

Terrifying Experience!

I had a duty that time, it was Saturday, February 7 and i had an AOD with the graduating BEED studs. After the usual routine of saturday duty, i went home at around 6:00 pm. I bonded with my family and after dinnner, i watched tv until the late newscast had over. I slept at around 11:30. Suddenly the phone alerted because of the message received. My mother opened it and read the message, she approached me in my room and informed about the message she received. It was coming from my honey Marecel. But i was confused why my mother handed me the cp when in fact, it could be done in the morning.
When i read the message, i was frightened and i really don't know what to do. Marecel informed me through text that she was robbed by three men at nakatulog siya for almost one hour dahil sinuntok siya nga mga magnanakaw. Akala pa nga ng mga tumulong sa kanya, eh patay na siya dahil nga matagal siya bago nagising dahil sa pagkakasuntok sa kanya. With this information, i felt pity for her for what had tranpired that day. You know, there were many bad thoughts that came out to my mind. What if . . . . . what if . . . . what if . . . what if . . . I don't want to speculate everything because she didn't disclose everything to me because it was only through text. I wasn't able to reply and comfort her that time because i don't have a load, louy na lang ta ani. I immediately planned to visit her the next day. But she texted me later that midnight that she's ok although, she was still trembling that time.
On Sunday afternoon, i went to their house to visit her. When we arrived, the place was quiet and peaceful and she opened the gate, as i looked at her, it seemed that nothing happened because she was vigorous and smiling, maybe because of my presence, ahem, tagam. We got inside the house because they don't want us to stay outside basig naa daw tong mga kawatan. We talked an i learned about what happened.
Midnoon that day, naa daw isa ka tigulang babaye na nagpalit ug pan pero dugay kaayo nagsige ug pili, morag naay gisegihag paniid sa palibot hangtud nga nakapalit na siya. Imbes nga mobalik ug gawas sa gate, milibot sa likod sa balay ang tigulang hangtud nga gibadlong sa silingan ug mao nga mibalik nag gawas. After a few minutes, miabot sila Ate Annie kay naay gikuha ug milarga ra pud dayon. After another few minutes again, miabot ang tulo ka lalaki nga nakamotor, ang isa nabilin sa motor na Honda Wave ug ang duha, miduol kang Marecel, nagpalit ug pan worth 2oo.oo but their money was 1,000.00. Kay wala man siyay sinsilyo sa regular niya nga kaha, she opened her vault to get money. After niya nakuha ang sukli unta, pagtindog niya, naa na sa duol ang isa ka tawo ug nag-tion sa iya ug 3.8 calibre pistol, mosinggit unta si Marecel ug tabang pero gisumbag siya sa kutokuto ug nakuyapan siya. Nakuha gyod sa mga tulisan ang P30,000.00 nga tinigom nila sa bakery.
After mga 30 minutes, naay nagpalit ug pan, sigeg ayo pero wala may mitubag, mao nga ang silingan mao ang miduol sa sulod ug ila nadiskobrehan nga nakatug si Marecel didto ubos sa kaha. They thought nga naay sakit siya mao nga nakuyapan, gitabang nila siya for alomost 1 hour. Pagkahuman, didto pa nahibaloan nila nga gitulis diay siya. Nagpa-blotter dayon sila pero ambut kung asa nang kalibutana nahimutang ang mga tulisan.
I was worried to think that she was the only person on duty in the bakery during her turn. But because of that incident, male companions were diployed each day in the store with her. I was relieved by that new arrangement of theirs.
After that, she asked me me stay their for the whole night and so i agreed because usually uli man gyod mi. We had a very good conversation and private stories for the two of us, i mean for our future lives together. Other details will be private, hehehh.
I don't want and I can't imagine of losing her in my life. She will always be the love of my life, come what may, kaya ayaw kung mawala siya sa akin, because inay-ayat ko na unay isu na.

How to Study Our Lessons Better?

Preparing to Study: A Good Study Place!

You need a good study place to be prepared to study. You should be able to answer YES to all of the following questions:

1. Is my Study Place available to me whenever I need it?
Your Study Place does you little good if you cannot use it when you need it. If you are using a Study Place that you must share with others for any reason, work out a schedule so that you know when you can use it.

2. Is my Study Place free from interruptions?
It is important to have uninterrupted study time. You may have to hang a DO NOT DISTURB sign on the door or take the phone off the hook.

3. Is my Study Place free from distractions?
Research shows that most students study best in a quiet environment. If you find that playing a stereo or TV improves your mood, keep the volume low.

4. Does my Study Place contain all the study materials I need?
Be sure your Study Place includes
reference sources and supplies such as pens and pencils, paper, ruler, calculator, and whatever else you might need. If you use a computer for your schoolwork, it should be in your Study Place .

5. Does my Study Space contain a large enough desk or table?
While working on an assignment or studying for a test, use a desk or table that is large enough to hold everything you need. Allow enough room for writing and try to avoid clutter.

6. Does my Study Place have enough storage space?
You need enough room to store your study materials. Be sure you have enough storage space to allow you to keep your desktop or other work surface clear of unnecessary materials that can get in the way.

7. Does my Study Place have a comfortable chair?
A chair that is not comfortable can cause discomfort or pain that will interfere with your studying. A chair that is too comfortable might make you sleepy. Select a chair in which you can sit for long periods while maintaining your attention.

8. Does my Study Place have enough light?
The amount of light you need depends on what you are doing. The important thing is that you can clearly see what you need to see without any strain or discomfort.

9. Does my Study Place have a comfortable temperature?
If your Study Place is too warm, you might become sleepy. If it is too cold, your thinking may slow down and become unclear. Select a temperature at which your mind and body function best.

Having a good Study Place is important for good studying.
