info_outlineThe Presence Projects presents episode 85 of the "Are You Being Present?" podcast series. Join Paul for a podcast that focuses on a significant challenge many people face in social situations.
The title and topic of this episode is “Experiencing Social Anxiety in the Present Moment". In this podcast Paul explores a topic that has, and continues to, affected many people all throughout society. Social anxiety, like most forms of anxiety, revolve around an overly triggered nervous system fueled by a negative imagination creating an internal state of chaos leading to an unfounded perception of a lack of safety and security in social situations. Many times, people allow their egos to create stories/projections about what others think about them when the truth is often quite contrary.
Being Present, and using Presence Tools, is helpful for those people who experience social anxiety as it allows for clarity as to why this is happening and what steps can be taken to shift this state of being. In the Present moment we can see that the ego can trigger the nervous system causing social anxiety using mental movies, thoughts and emotions leading to anxiousness, worry and fear. This type of anxiety can be paralyzing keeping people in perpetual states of isolation when they really desire to be in the company of their friends and family.
As always, it is advisable to listen to earlier podcasts that discuss other Presence topics and Presence Tools that can be implemented to help shift into the Present Moment.
