Did you know that…

 

Your motivation, emotions and actions depend more on what you believe than on what the reality is. When people believe that they cannot succeed, they do not even attempt to make the effort. Sustained effort required for reaching your goal can only be maintained when you feel confident in your ability to succeed.

 

The main difference between people who are anxious in social situations (meeting people, dating, public speaking) and those who are not is in the belief that they cannot control their anxiety rather in any actual social skills deficit.

 

Take home message: Beliefs can be changed.
