About a week or so ago I listened
to a recording that had a direct impact on my life in a very real way. The
recording discussed physical posture and what certain positions or mannerisms
mean in terms of who you are within yourself. Personally, I do put some
consideration into my posture and how I present myself, but never before had it
had the impact on my actual experience in a social situation than when I was
armed with this information.
I have had very intense social
anxiety, and still to this day it comes out in certain situations. Recently I
was at a party that was very hectic and also had people that I didn’t know very
well. These are two ingredients which usually make me feel like disappearing
into the background and speaking very little. However this time, I kept
thinking about the recording and noticing little things I was doing with my
body.
I kept on making small
adjustments to my position according to what I had learned, and I noticed that
when I was in certain positions I was in fact feeling a certain way within
myself (like closed off, focused too much on my internal stuff, or avoiding
people and things). As I made the adjustments I felt like I was gently
challenging myself to open up a bit more and support myself to reach out and interact.
I ended up surprising myself when I saw I was engaging in very natural social
behaviour, and as a result, actually having a good time! It ended up being a
very enjoyable experience, totally unexpected from just making minor
adjustments to my body and checking myself in small moments here and there.
I would definitely recommend “Gorilla
Style – Body Language” (https://eqafe.com/p/gorilla-style-body-language)
to anyone that has social anxiety or even finds themselves a bit uncomfortable
in certain social situations (like at a meeting, a job interview, party, etc…).
It’s amazing how a little awareness can make such a big difference!
