Whatever trials you are going through today I would implore you to avoid a state of depression as if it were the plague! Don't let your inner life die! If there is a meaning to life than there is also meaning to the trials we experience. Never give up the last of human freedoms; to choose one's own way...the ability to respond positively to life's experiences. Do not close your eyes and try to live in the past when things "were so much better." Life for such people becomes meaningless! There is one common element that goes with any trial we go through and that is, how long will this go on? Look beyond your present circumstances. Envision what you would like to do when the trial is over. Envision the attitude you would like to have while going through the trial. Can you find meaning in this trial? I believe you can! Don't get so caught up in your trial that you overlook the opportunity to make a positive impact on yourself and those around you.  ...

Shyness can really hold people back partially because those who are shy tend to stay away from public situations and also speaking up and it is because they experience so much chronic anxiety. Shyness can be overcome with time, effort and desire to change. But if your shyness is severe, you may need help from a counsellor or therapist though it can overcome it on your own by taking note of these. Do not showcase your shyness. Those related to you closely are aware of it already and others may not have the time to take note of it. Shyness is not as visible as you probably think. When others bring up your shyness, please do keep your tone casual. Then if it turns to be part of the discussion, speak of it cheerfully. Also if you are embarrassed when you are uncomfortable, don’t equalize it with shyness, do allow it to stand on its own. Don’t in anyway label yourself as shy, but let yourself be defined as a unique individual. Do not be self-sabotaging, because you are an en...

They just go in and talk to people. This lets them stay relaxed and confident, which improve their results. So how do you solve this? Take one piece of social skills advice at a time. Focus on just improving executing on it because it avoids information overwhelm. “We are dying from overthinking. We are slowly ...
