The world’s best golfer, Tiger Woods uses his imagination to help him consistently produce the highest level of play ever achieved in his sport.

Before each tournament, Tiger uses his imagination to visualise playing perfect golf and winning the event. Each day before he sets foot on the course he imagines himself playing every hole during his round perfectly.

Before each individual stroke Tiger imagines playing the perfect shot. He uses his imagination to visualise stepping up to the ball, addressing the ball correctly, making the perfect swing, striking the ball cleanly and projecting the ball accurately to the target.

Tiger has used this visualisation process throughout his career. But how can the technique Tiger Woods uses help someone overcome shyness?

The answer is visualising a successful outcome can be used in any situation from the golf course to the dating scene.

Shy people and those lacking self confidence tend to imagine the worse and set themselves up for failure.

Whatever it is you are anxious about, be it a social occasion, a job interview or a presentation, instead of imagining it going badly just do the opposite and get a clear picture in your mind of things going smoothly and successfully.

Develop the habit of using your imagination to see yourself feeling at ease and talking happily to people in every situation.

For example, if you want to talk to someone you find attractive, use your imagination to picture yourself talking happily to the person. Visualise yourself being calm, confident and enjoying the experience.

Tiger Woods has enjoyed great success by using his imagination to visualise achieving his goals. He’s not a bad role model!

Here is a question that many people have asked.  

 

“There is someone at work I like but I am too shy to speak to this person. What should I do?”.

 

The first thing to remember is that this person is a human being just like you.

They eat, sleep, go to the bathroom, have feelings, hopes, fears and their head is full of thoughts just like you and everyone else.

This person is no better and no worse than you or anyone else.

You are just as valuable a human being as they are, no matter what their status.

There is no need whatsoever to feel intimidated by this person. Just treat them with the respect that you would like  to be shown yourself.

You may think this person handsome or pretty or them attractive in some way but, until you get to know them, you can only guess what they are really like.

People are often very different away from the work place. They may be nice and kind or they could be horrible and selfish. Until you talk to them and get to know them, you just don’t know.

To find out what someone is really like, start to engage them in small talk.

For instance you could say “Good morning. How are you today?” or “Hello. Have you got lots of work on today? or “Hi, how’s it going today?

Just think of simple little questions you could ask that would be relevant to your work or work place.

Always listen carefully to the answers as you may have follow up questions.

Listening is the most important skill of conversation.

Asking questions is also very important.

As well as using questions to begin conversations, you can use questions to keep a conversation going.

Remember people love to talk about themselves. So ask the person you are talking to what films, TV shows, music, food, sports, hobbies they like. The list of questions is endless.

You can ask them how their family is. How they get on with their relatives

And once you have had a few conversations with this person and you and they are feeling comfortable with each other, you can start asking more intimate questions such as what are their hopes and dreams.

Start with simple “how are you?” questions and, if you find you like a person, gradually talk more often to them and get to know them better and let them get to know you.

There is one thing you must do if you want to improve your situation. Whatever it is you want to have happen in your life, you have to take action.

You probably have heard it all before but that doesn’t mean its not true. Unless you do something nothing is going to change or get better.

So make this promise to yourself  and say it to yourself (out loud whenever possible) several times a day for a whole week – “I am taking action. I am  making changes for the better, because I can.”

Back this promise up by actually taking action. Here are a few basic and very simple examples of actions you can begin taking.

1. Smile more. 2 Be polite to everyone you meet. 3 Be kind to people and to yourself. 4 Be helpful. 5 Be patient.

Take those 5 actions to start the ball rolling. You will feel more positive and happier in yourself and the vast majority of the people that you interact with will be more relaxed and positive towards you.

Start taking action right away and before you know it you will notice improvements. Be careful though, you could become an action addict!

Get more out of life.    Be happy.    Help make the world a better place.

TedKel’s blog is an exciting new site dedicated to providing information and resources for improving your life.

Quick tip. If you are unhappy or upset about something, the fastest way to feel better is to simply change the way you are holding your body.  Stand or sit as straight as you can with your head held high and put a big wide smile on your face (a wry grin will do if something really bad has just happened and you can’t manage a genuine smile).

This really works as the way you hold yourself directly connects to your feelings.  When you are feeling rotten you slouch and have a miserable expression on your face. Unhappy feelings go with bad posture and a sad face so change your posture and expression and you will change the way you feel.

Adding confident body posture to a positive mental attitude can bring enormous benefits.

Here is an interesting fact. If you go out on a cold day and you hunch yourself up and tell yourself its freezing, you are sure to feel the cold intensely. If on the same day you go out and hold your self upright and smile and say to yourself the weather is brisk and refreshing, you will barely feel the cold at all.

I am a great admirer of Tony Robbins and his work is well worth checking out.

Affirmations can improve your life tremendously.

The power of a smile. For me, the smile is the most potent force in the universe. When you smile you feel good. When people smile back you feel even better. Smile as much as you can and as warmly as you can. There is all sorts of science about smiling releasing endorphins and the exchange of positive energy. But put simply, developing the habit of smiling can improve your life, and the lives of those you encounter, enormously.

If  you suffer from shyness like millions of people do, please visit the website www.OvercomeShynessNow.com where you will find details of a quick and simple e-course which has been developed to help anyone overcome shyness, lack of confidence and low self esteem.

Good Luck
