    203. Three Steps You Can Take When You Feel Social Anxiety Rising

    Social anxiety can make you want to cancel plans, avoid difficult conversations, stay quiet in meetings, or say no to opportunities you actually want. In this episode of the Decide Your Legacy Podcast, Adam shares a simple three step strategy for facing social anxiety instead of letting it control your decisions. It starts with your mindset. What are you focusing on when you walk into a situation? Everything that could go wrong, or the opportunities that could come from showing up? Next, create a plan. Preparation can dramatically change how you approach an uncomfortable conversation, meeting, event, presentation, date, or new experience. Finally, get in the arena and engage. Real change happens when you stop avoiding the situation and give yourself the opportunity to gather new evidence about what you’re actually capable of. Adam shares his own experiences with anxiety, practical ways to prepare for social situations, the importance of curiosity, breathing, flexibility, and why even rejection can become an opportunity to build resilience. If social anxiety has been keeping you from relationships, opportunities, conversations, or experiences you know you should pursue, start with these three steps. Mindset. Plan. Engage. Pick one situation you’ve been avoiding and give the process a try. You decide your legacy. Nobody else.
