Interesting. I like the drawings. I'll have to try that visualization thing…now let me think of some reason. THanks!

If you get nervous – visualization is good, but try another calming exercise. Develop a mantra. A mantra is a phrase or saying that is repeated over and over either aloud or in one's mind as a meditative exercise. Come up with words that inspire or calm you and repeat them every time your nervousness starts to creep up.
It really works for me.

I get really nervous in social situations. It's terrible. I just can't talk to people. I don't think visualization is enough for me. I think I'm going to have to see someone about it. :9 🙁
