I have a social phobia.
It produces extreme reactions in me. I get tongue-tied. My voice shakes and my heart races whenever I have to perform in front of others.
I hate snakes. They give me the willies.
Many people have those things in their life that give them the heebie-jeebies. It may be snakes or it could be heights, needles, or even lightning.
Take One Action Today To Build Your #Resiliency!
Here Are My Tips For Building Resiliency And Celebrating Face Your Fears Day:
Know that it's okay to avoid your phobia if you can and as long as it doesn't interfere with your everyday living and happiness.
Thankfully I can stay away from snakes in my line of work and in my life. If you can't outright avoid them, learn how to challenge some of the unhelpful thoughts that the fear generates.
Plan and practice your stress and relaxation strategies ahead of time, so that they're like second nature during your exposure.
And finally, ask for help. Others can support you during those stressful times and they may be able to find strategies to lessen the stress that you feel.

Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
