Is it possible to get out of my comfort zone and do things i always wanted to do?

[matosh]

In persue of confidence and assertiveness i decided to do exercise courses so i can be an exercise instructor/personal trianer/exercise to music instructor. Since i've been suffering from anxiety for a long time exercise has been part of my life and has really helped me a lot and i love it to bits. So i did the courses so i can do something i enjoy whilst getting the benefits. The problem now is to start using the courses as confidence is getting on my way. I keep having excuses when people start asking when am i going to start teaching classes. I know deep down i want to do this as it will boost my confidence and counteract the effects of social anxiety. What can i do.

Hi

I can totally understand the confidence issue

I think the only way we can sometimes over come this , is by getting out there & facing the fear which we all have when doing something new

You seem to have done all the hard work on these courses & well done , now I hope you can take that final step & show everyone just how good you are as I no you will be

Keep coming on here & talking , people will support you every step of the way !

Good luck & let us no how you go on

Love

Try reading "Feel The Fear and Do It Anyway" by Susan Jeffers. It is a good read and has helped millions:

The problem with me i'm not a good reader i start a book and never finish it. I'm currently reading a very good practical book called ' THE CONFIDENCE GAP' but haven't practised anything suggested on it. I will try ur suggested book once i finished this one. Thanks a lot for ur help, i really need a push. have a good day

Face the fear and do it!!! You had the confidence to do the courses, now you have to put it into practice.

I wonder if you could get a couple or three friends around home and try out a session with them. Could be worth a try.

Well done for doing the courses now keep on with the confidence you found to do those. Good luck. Julie xx
