"You must be the person you have never had the courage to be. Gradually, you will discover that you are that person, but until you can see this clearly, you must pretend and invent" . Paulo Coelho Deep down inside I'm a nervous wreck screaming out anxiety, I'm sweating and I'm so scared of this situation. All I want is to crawl into a hole and escape. On the outside, my shoulders are back, I'm standing up straight, I'm looking at people directly into their eyes and I'm focusing on the now and pretending to exude confidence. Well that's what I try to do anyway and sometimes I wonder if they're buying it and if they can see right through my pretend-to-be-confident skin. But, after a few moments the unthinkable happens. I really start to feel more confident, my anxiety has started to diminish considerably, My whimp levels have dropped I'm not scared anymore. I feel more relaxed and in the moment. This hasn't just happened me once or twice. It happens more often than not and I'm sure some of you can related to similar situations. "Fake it till you make it" And that's what I did. 😊
