How to step out of comfort zones ✨

Hello all!

Pretty sure many people out there can relate to the idea of being an introvert - You’re socially awkward with new people especially big groups, you tend not to initiate conversations easily, you enjoy being alone, you may even dread standing up for yourself at times.

As someone who faced troubles doing such things which could be of such an easy thing to some people out there, it’s super normal and we just need to accept it! The last thing we want to do is to change our entire self completely..

1 - Force yourself to meet new people / socialise!

Forcing may sound pretty intense, but it really is the fastest way to learn how to adapt to different environments and build genuine connections with like-minded people!

2 - Prepare yourself well before a presentation / pitch / appointment etc.

Somehow we may hate the idea of having to do a presentation or pitch at school or work. But can we say no? Being well prepared, familiar and prompting yourself that you can do it are ideal actions to take before you fulfill your task. At the end of the day, you might realise it isn’t bad at all!

3 - Constantly remind yourself that no one really cares about you.

While we may care too much of what people think of us, our words and even the way we present ourselves, we end up sacrificing things we don’t want to lose. It is important to not be a nuisance to anyone, but reminding yourself that you are 1 in a few billions and trillions of people on a small planet, you would feel less conscious about yourself! It’s all about the confidence and mindset.

2023 had definitely changed me to be a different version of myself, and i’m so thankful for the experiences I’ve had! So to all those introverted friends out there, embrace it and trust the process ~ We all can achieve great things too 🤎
