The Quiet Rise of Introverts. Brenda Knowles
for talk to others. Now for introverts and those with social anxiety, this may seem more daunting than helpful. I am not suggesting you find a social gathering and spill your guts. I suggest thinking about the relationships that offer the most emotional safety and reach out to them. This may be one person or it may even be a pet. The important thing is to express your feelings. Allow your emotions to connect you with another being.
T for take action. For some situations, taking action could mean talking to someone; either your closest companions or the person you feel is the origin of the emotion. This may mean saying no to a request of your time or standing up to a power-hungry coworker. Other examples of action taking are working on a fitness plan or moving to a new city.
DECIDE TO TAKE ACTION
A favorite personal mantra is “Action dissolves fear.” I know stewing in my own pity and frustration does no good. I have to stop the ruminating. I have to do something.
Before we take action, we make decisions. Decisions stop the loop of worry, which indecision exacerbates.
I’ve learned from experience that I may not make the perfect choice right off the bat. Often there are too many choices, and the fallout is unpredictable. I use self-awareness and a keen knowledge of my preferences to make the best (although not perfect) decision.
