It Isn’t All in the Head, Is It?
March 14th, 2009 by Andy
Just before the beginning of the new year, I wrote an article in which I mentioned that there were two major issues that I had to take care of before I expected to make any more reportable progress that would lead to any new tips. I’m happy to report that I have taken care of one of these, and am now well on the way to finally conquering the second. During this process, I have learned a valuable lesson that only became completely evident to me today.
Everything belief that we have is generated from our experiences and what we have learned from the experiences of others. It is from these believes that we generate the standards by which we judge ourselves and others. What I have always know, but only recently become aware of is that it doesn’t always make sense to change these beliefs.
Shortly after I wrote that story, I really thought about it, and had the feeling that those two things were just excuses. In many other cases when dealing with social anxiety, others would have said the same. In reality I have found that these things I needed to take care of truly needed to be taken care of. I had been making excuses to put them off for far too long.
So tonight’s lesson is short and sweet. There are those things in life that bother you and rightfully should. This is especially true if the problem affects your health or the well-being of your family. So really, if something is bothering you, it is all in your head, but you really should take the time to question whether it is there for a good reason or now.

couple typos lol:
“Everything belief that we have” should be EVERY belief that we have”
“What I have always know, but only recently become aware” should be “what I have always KNOWN…”

Thank you this makes sense, and yes you should take care of things that bother you. I think that we all have a habit of just say oh well, and hoping it will go away.
