In this week's podcast, I will detail more specific strategies for overcoming shyness. The steps in this episode are specific and detailed and take time and effort, but it is what is needed to overcome shyness. If you are looking for a quick fix, this podcast is not it. However, if you are tired of how shyness is affecting your life and desire to change, then this show will be of great help.

It's great that the podcast is taking a thorough approach to addressing shyness by combining insights from King Saul's story with practical strategies like CBT and mindfulness. True transformation often requires dedication and time, so it's refreshing to see a focus on long-term solutions rather than quick fixes. The emphasis on commitment and practice shows a realistic understanding of the process involved in overcoming shyness.
it's important to provide comprehensive approaches to addressing shyness, it's essential to recognize that not all strategies will resonate with everyone. Some individuals may find mindfulness and CBT helpful, while others may benefit from different techniques or therapeutic modalities. Additionally, comparing personal transformation to biblical stories may not be relatable or applicable to everyone's experiences with shyness.
The video's guidance has not only boosted my self-esteem but also empowered me to embrace challenges with a positive mindset, and for that, I'm truly thankful.
It's incredible how a single video can have such a profound impact on our mindset and outlook
I just love to start my day with these vids from Elim... they bring some sort of positive energy and feel-good factor within me that sustain me throughout the ups and downs of the day. Thanxx for being so helpful and supportive.
The positive impact of Elim's videos, it's important to approach the process of overcoming shyness with flexibility. Quick fixes may work for some individuals, and a comprehensive discussion should recognize diverse approaches. Balancing commitment with individualized strategies ensures a more inclusive conversation about turning shyness into confidence. How do you navigate the balance between personalized approaches and a structured process in overcoming shyness?
I can totally relate! I used to feel incredibly shy in group settings, but I've been working on stepping out of my comfort zone. Recently, I gave a presentation at work, and although I was nervous, I pushed through and received positive feedback. It's a constant journey, but each small step forward boosts my confidence.
Impressive! How do you manage nerves and build confidence?
Being shy has many limitations. I can recall being too shy to answer interview questions and focusing too much on myself. It takes time to turn shyness into confidence, but the journey is well worth it. This podcast offers a thorough road map. If you're dedicated to the process, you'll witness a positive shift in the way shyness impacts your life.
Totally get it! Switching from shy to confident is a game-changer. How do you keep yourself pumped up when things don't go as planned?
This podcast resonates deeply with me because I've experienced firsthand how God can transform a shy and timid person into a bold child of God. Overcoming shyness isn't a quick fix; it's a journey that I've been on, walking hand in hand with the Holy Spirit every step of the way. My journey serves as a testament to God's ongoing work in my life, reminding me of the power of His grace to bring about profound change and growth.
I'm so happy to know that this segment resonates with you. For this is what the Holy Spirit does; give you boldness! Which i can certainly tell that you already have. For overcoming shyness is a gradual process for anyone. Wishing you many success on your spiritual journey.
Who else is feeling a rush of energy within them listening to this podcast… wooh!
You can say that again
Totally vibing with you! What parts of the podcast really speak to you and get you hyped up?
True! People don’t even know you are shy until you start demonstrating it. face your fear and let people see the brave and confident person you are.
Yes, Once King Saul took to the podium all that was noted by the narrator is that he was "head and shoulder taller than everyone else.".
True! There is no quick fix to overcoming shyness and becoming confident. It is a journey that involve consistent steps and determination. But luckily, it is achievable.
Totally get it! Becoming confident ain't an overnight thing. What's been your go-to move in staying on track with your confidence journey?
Shyness is very limiting, I remember not being able to respond to interview questions because I was very shy to put so much attention on myself.
Thank you for this CBT principles down steps in overcoming shyness. I know how positive affirmations has helped me.
Your experience with shyness reminds me of Philippians 4:13, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." With God's help, you can overcome limitations, even shyness, and find the confidence to face challenges. Remember, God equips the hesitant with courage; just like Moses, who doubted his abilities, God empowered him to lead (Exodus 3:11-12). Trust in His strength, and you'll find the ability to overcome any obstacle, even self-consciousness.

@@romnickmepico4882 I appreciate your encouragement! To crush my shyness, I plan to apply these insights by gradually stepping out of my comfort zone and embracing opportunities for social interaction. My next move involves setting small, achievable goals, such as initiating conversations with new people or volunteering for speaking engagements, to gradually build confidence and overcome my fear of judgment. Additionally, I'll continue to draw strength from my inner resilience, supportive relationships, and faith, reminding myself that growth often requires facing discomfort and that I have the strength to persevere.

Positive self-talk. That’s a powerful tool for overcoming shyness. Thank you for mentioning it.
I am glad you found it helpful. These topics are always better when illustrated by biblical characters.

I agree. I believe that Michael's insights have been very helpful in gaining confidence and has been a positive impact in our lives. Did you ever had to struggle with shyness? In your experience is there any other helpful tips you could offer in overcoming this disorder?
I remember how back in school I would literally cry before having to present a project in front of my class. It got so bad that sometimes my teachers had to take me out of class to calm me down. That was so embarrassing
These kinds of childhood experiences, remembered or not, are often at the root of shyness. T
lllllllllppp
Every information your channel provides us is really helpful for me, it's because you explain it very well so that we can understand ourselves what we are and where we are making mistakes and how to overcome them. Thank a lot sir.

I'm grateful for the valuable insights and practical tips provided in the video; it's been a game-changer in transforming my approach to building confidence.
Hi Michael, I appreciate every tip you share on this channel. They have been really helpful. Thanks for these practical steps to overcoming shyness. You are helping so many of us with your great work...
Totally! Michael's tips rock. What's the toughest part about shaking off shyness for you? How do you handle it?
This video has been very helpful. Overcoming shyness is a gradual process. Applying CBT strategies and inviting Jesus into our lives is a great combination to conquering shyness
I feel like I've gained some valuable insights. The strategies presented are practical and seem like they could really make a difference. I appreciate the emphasis on dedication and practice
Healing retreat? That sounds really cool. I would like to hear more about that.
Where are you located Amelia?
One must develop self-confidence because it allows one to be persistent in the achievement of set goals, overcome difficult situations, and develop effective relationships. Shyness can be managed by being first aware of what provokes it, gradually exposing oneself into situations that provoke shyness, learning to be assertive and positive in thoughts, and seeking help from friends or professionals where necessary.
I am an extremely shy person. I never knew it could be a mental disorder. Now, I’m afraid!
Now, you know…😃
Everything starts from thought. No one really cares about you. why getting shy? Just live your life and be happy!
True that! Mindset is key. How do you stay positive when negativity tries to drag you down?
Transforming shyness into confidence isn't a quick fix, but it's a worthwhile journey. This podcast provides a detailed roadmap, backed by CBT and mindfulness strategies. Commit to the process, and you'll see a positive change in how shyness affects your life. 🌱
For sure! It's all about that journey. How are you planning to work mindfulness and CBT into your daily grind for that confidence boost?
"Don’t be shy. Chin up and don’t overthink it. Just think in a positive way and always be brave, happy and be kind"
These are the words I recite in my head anytime I feel shy.
Those mantras are 🔥. How do you keep that positive vibe going, especially when things get tough?
No quick fix has ever worked. It takes consistency and understanding.
Changing mind set and thought patterns that have been there since childhood takes time.DOn't listen to those quick fix videos for shyness.
I had to make that point against quick fix videos right at the beginning because this video is not about a quick fix. However the steps are not complicated.
I’m curious… my two kids are quite shy. Is this normal for kids or it could also be some kind of disorder? Note; I’m not shy and neither is there father.
Íp😅😅
Nice topic, explained nicely too.
Thanks a lot
Jesus is the ultimate solution to everything, even shyness. Remember the case of peter? He doesn’t even have to use any CBT strategies. Call unto Jesus for help.
Absolutely!!
Hi Paula. Thank you for your comment. I do believe that Jesus is the answer and the ultimate healer. I have witnessed miraculous healing through prayer. However, even Jesus himself recommended physicians, "Jesus answered, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick" (Lk. 5:31). Jesus is not against his followers turning to human agents for help. One of the most sad things that I have to deal with in my line of work as a psychotherapist, is to counsel bereaved families whose loved one could be alive today if they had not refused doctors' help saying Jesus is going to heal them. The belief that Christians don't need help from heath professionals is dangerous and turns off many from the faith.
Indeed! Jesus is the answer to overcoming all shyness.
Mindfulness is such a one-size-fit-all strategy. cool to see it can help with this too
How has mindfulness personally supported you, and where do you see its potential to bring further positive changes?
