Jenny - Module 6

Homework review
So, there might actually be something to this. Over the week, I noticed that I was starting to be more aware of what I was thinking and feeling in the moment. A lot of times, it seems that my biggest concern is that people will think I’m stupid. One of the most helpful things I found was asking myself, what’s the worst thing that could happen and how likely is that really. I think asking myself the likelihood question was pretty key. While it’s always possible that the worst could happen, it seems that most of the time, so far, it’s been pretty unlikely.

Going through this module, I was struck by all the things that I do to avoid getting anxious. So many of them jumped out at me.

 

 

Subtle avoidance	Cognitive Avoidance	Safety Behaviours
Keeping my head down when I’m walking and making limited eye contact.		I always have a bottle of water with me so I can take a sip if I’m feeling anxious or shaky.
Looking in the direction of my audience when giving a presentation but very rarely at someone in the face.
