Allow yourself to soften here,
Closing your eyes if possible Follow your breath in Follow your breath out Inhale for two,
Three,
Four Hold two,

It's normal to feel anxious about social settings Quite often,
Once we get there,
It's better It's better than we could have ever imagined Right now,
My friend,
Your mind is playing tricks on you,
Wanting to protect you This is only robbing you of beautiful,
Vulnerable,
Real connection Most people barely know themselves,
So why does it matter what they think of you?
Inhale as you open your heart Exhale,
Drop your shoulders We are all just human Navigating this thing called life Repeat after me,
I know who I am I love who I am I like what I do and I like how I do it And I like my mistakes And I like the way I learn and I like the pace with which I learn my mistakes I don't want to be anybody else but me I don't want to be anybody else but me Breathe in slowly And let it go What people in the world think of you is really none of your business Let go of this worry Choose to imagine it going very,
Very well If it feels safe to you,
Wrap your arms around yourself,
Close your eyes Give yourself a hug Knowing that you will hold yourself through this experience Accepting your social anxiety Accepting all that you are Wrapping yourself up in warmth and love Now say something really kind to yourself An affirmation you need to hear Slow breath in Let it go Take it one breath,
One moment at a time You got this,
My friend From my heart To yours
