Take a cold shower!

I know I know, but before you get upset, hear me out here because this is one of the most powerful pointers in the whole book. There, are you cool now? (pun intended)

The next time you take a shower, do as you regularly do and get all that safe, old and boring, stuff out of the way first. Then when you feel you're ready (actually one never gets truly ready for it) let the true fun part beguine and turn the water all the way to the coldest possible setting.

To be perfectly honest with you, this takes some serious willpower and some acclimatization in order for it not to bee too uncomfortable. Set your goal for two to five minutes, as cold as can be, and work your way up to that goal. If need be, take it slow at first. If I can do it, anyone can and trust me, this is a SERIOUS natural help for anxiety!

WHY?

Cold showers have numerous positive benefits for both our bodies and brains. I recommend you do a little google search if you are interested in all the benefits, as I will only cover the once lowering your anxiety and shyness levels here.

Cold showers act as a small form of stress on your nervous system and overtime, the body adapts to this. Essentially, you will become a calm, cool, “badass” person. The first few times you step into that cold shower, you won’t be able to think straight and you will probably start hyperventilating. But after two weeks, you will be thinking about your day in a Zen like focus as the ice cold water just makes you more and more tough. This will transfer into everyday life as you simply just brush off stressful bullshit that would typically ruin your day. This can be viewed as an adaptation to repeated stress and is postulated as a mechanism for body hardening. I am here to tell you though, it is not only the body that hardens. It really toughens up the body, mind and spirit in a profound way.

Cold showers really works for elevating your mood and increases your courage, both instantly, as well as cumulatively. When you get the showers up to, at least, two minutes long you will notice the effect as soon as you step out of the shower, and the more often you do it, the stronger, and more longer lasting the effect will become.

Not only will you greatly strengthen your willpower and your resilient to stress but the raise in dopamine, testosterone and the body’s natural endorphins will lift your mood as well and make you much more outgoing right away, lasting sometimes as long as two days after the shower.

Hundreds and hundreds of times cold showers have put the spine back in me on days I have felt shy and insecure and in need of a "quick fix". I still use them today and almost every time I get out of them, I'm ready to conquer the world.

Play "the eye game"

Games have the ability to challenge us and make us grow, at the same time as we are having fun. They are powerful tools to have in our toolbox so do not underestimate them.

Start playing "the eye game" today!

When you walk around and passing people, bee it on the street, in the library, in the shopping mall etc, every now and then choose a "target" whom will, unknowingly, be part of your game. When getting within a close distance to the other person, look him or her straight in the eye. If the other person happens to look at you as well, then this is where the game starts.The object of this game is simply to NOT be the one who looks away first.

Now don't look aggressive or dominant, just look at the other person, in a calm and relaxed way, as you are merely observing them with no judgments, perhaps with a bit of curiosity. You will find that, most often, the other person will break eye contact first and so, you'll win.

Sometimes, however, you find that ,he or she, will keep the eye contact and this is where you really have to be strong and not back down. In situations like these you can either remain relaxed, calm and not show any facial expressions at all, or you could go for the bonus score, and give the other person a warm smile and see if you get any response. When you do get a response you will find that it is remarkable, how a small thing like that, really can brighten up your day.

Why?

Since this is basically the opposite of what a shy person does it goes without saying that, by regularly practicing this habit, you will train yourself to become less shy and more outgoing. And the fun this game can bring you, especially in combination with the responses you sometimes get, will teach your brain and your whole nervous system that connections, and people in general, actually aren't that scary, intimidating or boring. In fact they can actually be rather pleasant. Imagine that! Who would have thought?

Thank you for reading these tips. Hope they will, at least somewhat, be good help for anxiety.
