It is sometimes easy to fall into the trap of minimizing yourself and your abilities, but this is fatal if it becomes a habit pattern.

Instead of minimizing yourself and avoiding those things that make you uneasy, turn the tables on it. When you avoid those things you actually become smaller, and more at an effect of those things you have avoided.

This is what you do. For example, if you have to talk in front of 5 people and this makes you uneasy, you picture you are talking in front of 10. You feel better about that don’t you? This is because the more you confront, the more you grow as a person, and the more able you become. If your work load is huge, imagine doubling it. Again you will feel the same way. You will get a “Gung ho” feeling and will get ready for action. This technique is applicable to anything, weather it is talking to girls, job interviews, long distance driving, anything!
