In today's video we're going to take a closer look at how to break the cycle of social anxiety.

Many people have experienced being nervous in social situations, like speaking in front of a group or being in large crowds but people who suffer from social anxiety situations like those can be debilitating.

Sometimes even just going to the store or out to eat can cause anxiety attacks and it can become so severe to the point where people don't want to leave their own homes.

Thankfully, there are steps to help improve social anxiety and reach a point where you can lead a more healthy lifestyle without letting your fears overtake your life.

The definition of social anxiety is anxiousness in the anticipation of an event or anxiety during and after a specific situation.

Usually, a person will be in a state of constant worry about how others are perceiving them, whether it be negative or positive perceptions.

You can work through your fears just like any other form of anxiety.

Here are 6 tips on how to break the cycle of social anxiety and enjoy social situations.

1. Think about other people. Before going out, instead of thinking about how people will perceive you, think about other people and how they are feeling.

Are they nervous too? Or are they calm and relaxed?

Regardless of how you feel, thinking about others helps take the focus off yourself and guides your thoughts away from a downhill negative thought cycle.

2. Go out. Breaking out of your comfort zone is key to overcoming your social anxiety.

Start small, with quick trips to the store or to get coffee. You can even try going to the park where it is more open and less confining for comfort.

Facing your fears is a very important way of getting over them, so putting yourself in certain situations will help you to be more comfortable.

3. Talk through it. Expressing your fears to people you are close to can help ease social anxiety.

With support, you will feel as if you are not alone and can become better equipped with handling situations.

Hiding your emotions creates a negative build-up of thoughts that turn into overwhelming fear.

Talking through those thoughts or even just writing them down in a journal can help alleviate anxiety.

4. Be your true self. Knowing that not everyone around you is as concerned with your flaws as you are can be a great reminder to just be yourself.

Most people just want your company to enjoy or get to know you, so remembering to be yourself is a great tool for overcoming social anxiety.

5. Learn breathing techniques. If you are out in public and feel an anxiety or panic attack forming, learning some breathing techniques can help keep you calm and relaxed.

Removing yourself to a quiet space, where you can focus on your breathing can help you cope with uncomfortable situations and calm your mind until you're ready.

6. Of course, you can always speak with a medical professional that specializes in social anxiety disorder and they can further guide you on ways to overcome it.

These self-help tips are stepping stones to break the cycle and learn how to be comfortable in uncomfortable situations. Use these tips to help learn and grow from experiences and pave a new anxiety-free path.

You can do it!
