Overcoming anxiety in a social situation

When we learn to ask better questions in a conversation, we move into a metamorphic two-step.

It's about having a presence. Presence is when you're only responding and reacting to what's happening in the moment. There's no story from the past, no fear of the future. 

  1. Be aware when your undesired state of being reveals itself. "I'm worried that I won't have anything to say." You might feel nervous about being in the company of influential people.
  2. Then articulate the desired state of being. Focus your energy and attention on being better than you were the day before.
