ok, so im just gona summarize my plan for the next three months for my own records, and so that Im clear about it and so that I am held accountable

now that I have my own place, i can do many things! heres the plan:

1)
listen to all the good affirmations on my "think right now" cd's all day at home, and with headphones at work.
(source: http://www.thinkrightnow.com/audios/social-anxiety.asp)
now that I have my own place i can listen to it all day without embarrassment, and being a mailman means i can listen on my headphones all day.
it says stuff like:
"I welcome close relationships with other people
I can quickly develop a rapport with almost anyone
I've replaced all fear of disapproval with confidence and courage
I have a great sense of humor about myself now
I'm free of all resistance to meeting people and making new friends.
I am very comfortable expressing my needs and desires
I can be myself and still be well-liked by others
I know being judged is part of life, so when it happens, I just let it go
Anyone would be lucky to have me as a friend"

so its non-stop good thoughts

2)
use the self-therapy technique whenever in any social situation
(source: http://www.selftherapy.org)
its like just feeling the anxiety and acceptingg it and accepting the situation and not caring about it all, just acknowledge it and it slowly fades away

3)
hang out with SAS edmonton peeps and have fun. i now have a place to invite them over.
more fun = more attraction to the idea of hanging out with peeps

4)
cut off my family, the original source of the SA. having my own place works great for that. They were just making me wanna never talk to anyone ever and repelled from everyone. Im finding myself less and less repelled by people now

5)
use my own place to enhance fitness and nutrition. I only buy nutritious food, and have all this space to work out in! yay
ill keep doing this plan: http://www.socialanxietysupport.com/forum/f10/abs-of-steel-round-2-fight-67984/

this will be done for three whole months and then a full report will be made right after halloween

the original plan was to charge into everything. the new plan is more about creating an attraction to people as opposed to rushing in, having a bad time and feeding the phobia of people
