There are ways to overcome shyness even if you are in a social setting.
Are you painfully shy? Do you often feel awkward, turn white, stammer in anxiety, mumble and/or look away when someone approaches you to talk? Many people never outgrow the feelings off shyness that they experienced as children, and as an adult, being shy can pose tremendous social challenges that impede on success. Luckily, it is possible to overcome shyness at any time.
My daughter is encouraged to smile more despite being shy.
As a child, I was extremely shy. My voice was hardly audible. I wished that I could disappear into the ground when people I didn’t know well, approached me with a question.

How to Internally Align With Financial Abundance
I was being asked this question by a reader who emailed in: why do all the spiritual gurus and experts say that we are abundant when the evidence in our current financial situation appears to be pointing otherwise? The reader has been feeling utterly confused. She finds it hard to believe that she can become financially wealthy from working in a paid-by-the-hour job.
(Financial Abundance Wish: What Things Can I Buy with More Money?)
Well, the answer to the reader’s question is this: there is every opportunity to increase financial abundance. Opportunities are available because ideas are abundant. And it is possible for anyone to can tune into them. Yet, we have not been able to recognize ideas because we have little clarity. Our minds are clouded because we have bought into certain misbeliefs and at the same, we are being obscured by emotional clutter.

How to Handle Toxic Relationships
Toxic relationships are those which have become extreme. You experience a sense of dread, misery, illness and nervous energy, whenever you have to handle people with toxic energy. They can be people in the office, friends or even family members.
Toxic people are either skilled in poking holes or dampening your aura. You cannot help but feel affected by their energy. It is possible to feel energetically drained even after a mere 10 minutes with them. I recall myself having to make excuses to go to the bathroom repeatedly, whenever a particular friend with lots of negative energy come over for a visit. My article today shares 25 ways on handling toxic relationships.

70 Ways For Self Care
Self care is an act of loving yourself.
Any act of self care is to nourish your mind, body or spirit. Whatever it is, you do something nurturing. You don’t put off from taking a needed break or having some me-time. You create a better relationship with self.
Self care is taking care of your inner home. And obviously, you do not wreck yourself apart when you undertake self-care. This means that you don’t give excuses for feeling tired, crying or going for an expensive pedicure. You please yourself rather than others. Very importantly, you do not experience guilt, shame or blame. So it may mean eating more, less or having an indulgence every now and then. You take a balanced approach to overall holistic well-being.
Inner Alchemy Through Life Lessons
So you have experiencing situations that show up your low self confidence?
You are a subject of constant emotional abuse since 3 years old?
Been dumped for the 7th time?
Been betrayed by your unfaithful spouse?
Engaged in daily fights with your family members?
(I keep myself contemplative via creative reminders of my life lessons!)
Well, all these situations can potentially hold life lessons for us. The thing is that if we do not build some awareness to their underlying meanings, we would have missed out on the gems. We would be simply reacting, avoiding and distracting ourselves from the true heart of the matter. We would merely be looking at the wrappings without knowing that there are treasures inside.
Claim Your Right To Abundance
Many people go around in a state of want and lack. They feel like if they have the right hair, body, face, clothes, or the right amount of money, they’d be set for happiness and therefore, a life of abundance. Certainly, marketing media would love to bank on this belief.
(A leaf from my scrapbook album to remind me to “just go for it!”)
Product sellers and service providers make millions of dollars based on people’s insecurities. Constantly bombarded by pictures of grandeur, consumers are left to wonder if they would be complete after making an additional purchase. Myths are perpetuated as a result.
How To Start A Gratitude Journal
A gratitude journal is very similar to a diary. However, the difference is that you mainly have positive things to write in a gratitude journal.
(List your favorite things in your gratitude journal)
While you can rant and rave in your diary, a gratitude journal is meant to uplift you. It connects you with good feeling thoughts. The aim of keeping a gratitude journal is to write down the things that make you happy and that for which you are grateful for.
