DO YOUR RESEARCH<\/strong>: Get comfortable with the anxiety-producing situation. Drive to the job interview location; practice your speech with supportive friends.<\/li>\n<li><strong> STEP OUT OF COMFORT ZONE: <\/strong>Do something different: Try that exotic restaurant you\u2019ve been anxious about trying; say \u201cHello\u201d to the person you want to meet.<\/li>\n<li><strong> SEE CHALLENGE AS FUN: <\/strong>See the pressure situation as a way to learn and grow\u2014enjoy yourself.<\/li>\n<li><strong> BUILD COURAGE SUPPORT NETWORKS: <\/strong>Associate with confident, positive, loving, and courageous people. Find a Courage Mentor (from history or present time) and emulate them.<\/li>\n<li><strong> THINK OF HOW YOU CAN GIVE: <\/strong>Think of the people who will benefit from your intelligent risk-taking (starting a family or business, switching to a new career).<\/li>\n<li><strong> HAVE A COURAGE BURST: <\/strong>Think that you will be insanely courageous for only 30 seconds: apologize to a friend, ask an attractive person out for coffee, tell someone you love them. It\u2019s only 30 seconds\u2014you can do it.<\/li>\n<li><strong> BUILD YOUR COURAGE MUSCLES DAILY: <\/strong>Take a small social and emotional risk every day (say \u201cNo\u201d to what you don\u2019t want, ask for what you want, negotiate something).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>By the way, social courage is an important element of courage: extending yourself socially; meeting new people, fostering your existing relationships with honesty and loving energy.<\/p>\n<p>Take the Social Courage Challenge this week: Come join us and meet new friends at the &#8220;Valentine&#8217;s Masquerade&#8221; Social Mixer this Thursday 2\/14\/19 at 7PM at &#8220;Decades&#8221; in Anaheim.
