Okay. I'm going to give you some networking and socializing tips that really helped me. Show
I used to be very introverted and quiet at parties or events. Hated them. Had no idea what to talk about. I was great one on one with my friends but horrible with strangers. Couldn't wait to get home. Some of you may recognize some of my other posts so it'll sound familiar when I say I moved to Los Angeles and some powerful people from Hollywood taught me how the top people in Hollywood network and socialize. As I moved across the country I found out this is also how very wealthy people socialize and network as well. Since then I've never had problems socializing or being at events. I've made friend with people in Hollywood, investors in Boston, wealthy people, socialites, etc. I've been to movie premeires, country clubs, dinners in mansions and I always feel relaxed and in place (which is a complete opposite of how I used to be). First tip: you know how a lot of people have anxiety talking to strangers? Compare that with how comfortable you feel talking with your best friend. What do you talk toy our closest friends about? Think of the best times you had with friends and what you guys like to do together or talk about. Maybe it's cooking, or video games, or movies, or art or fashion. There will be a few of them. These are your passions. These are things that genuinely excite you. Use these to connect with strangers. Do they have the same interests and passions as you do? This is a great topic to talk about. Second: a lot of people feel pressure to act a certain way or that they have to talk for some reason (as if we had a quota). Forget the quota. Talk to people to find conversation that you like. Your only job when you are out is to have fun as if you were talking to your best friends. Talk with a bunch of people. Don't try to make friends. Just focus on discovering if people like the same things you do. If they do, talk about it and have a good time. Don't feel obligated to keep in touch afterwards either. Third: if you make a mistake. Don't let it consume you. Just save it in your head for analysis later. Fourth: if you're nervous. I used to be very nervous socializing. I felt lien I couldn't breathe of my friends left me. People wh know me now find that hard to believe because of how good I am at socializing and networking now. I even ended up teaching a few of them how to do it. One guy met his wife because of me. Another guy, who had huge anxiety, made friends and across the county and has been to country clubs and hung out with multimillionaires. For everyone who is nervous or anxious, the best piece of advise I ever heard was to find the other nervous people. I GUARANTEE you that there are other people wherever you are who are just as nervous if not more so than you are. Find them and make them feel welcome. Focus on them. Anyway, that's all for now. If you guys want more let me know. if you have any questions please ask away.

Once making the decision to get sober, many of us assume the rest is downhill. We’ve created these unrealistic expectations about sobriety in our heads and convinced ourselves that life is going to be easy from here on out. Seldom is this the case, however, as we soon find out. First StepSobriety opens the door to a whirlwind of emotions; to feelings and insecurities that have been numbed and closed off for years. Now we find them bubbling to the surface, so we’re forced to look them in the eye and deal with them directly rather than find a way to escape them. You can finally see how much destruction your past actions and addictive behavior have caused yourself and others. But while this realization can bring clarity, it can also bring a host of other negative emotions: shame, guilt and, most of all, self-hatred. Accepting the Past The longer you conceal this feeling, the more toxic it will become for you, thus causing a more intense degree of self-loathing. If not dealt with properly, these feelings can eventually manifest into physical problems and can also precipitate a relapse. Letting Go of HateSo, what can you do to battle feelings of self-hatred? First, recognize them for what they are: remnants from the past. Something that has no basis in the present and that no longer defines the person you’re today in recovery. Also, being actively involved in recovery is imperative, and twelve-step meetings are a powerful tool in helping to alleviate the hatred you feel towards yourself. Talking it out to those who’ve experienced the same feelings will help you down the path to self-forgiveness. Making amends to others, as well as giving back to the community, are other ways to boost self-worth and lessen feelings of ill-will towards yourself. Remember, before healing can begin, hatred must go. It’s necessary to be kind to yourself, because if you don’t love yourself first, no one else is going to, either. Image Source: Shutterstock |
