Flipping Properties and Meeting New People
A couple of nights ago I was invited to attend a gathering however I barely knew anyone who was attending, so in other words, I did not feel like attending the party one bit.
The truth of the matter is that I have been asked to go to gatherings just like this in the past where I don’t know the hosts, but with my girl friend pushing me, I always end up going.
What's the reason I did not want to attend?
Through my own thinking I had created a sense of fear about attending the party…which was not at all based in reality.
Whenever I thought about the party I pictured myself standing there to the side of the room, earnestly trying to discover something to talk about - and no matter how hard I tried, I consistently struggled to connect with people. I never was able to find common ground, the conversations always seemed so awkward, I always seemed to have an unenjoyable time.
That is pretty much how I always used to picture myself at a party.
Haven’t we all been to parties like this before?
I'm talking about the kind of parties you go to where you think to yourself you would rather actually be having a root canal than going through this torture….
But what if I had tried to simply picture and expect a different and better outcome?
So instead of being a loner, talking to no one in the corner…imagine if I had pictured being engaged in a great experience, surrounded by awesome and interesting people very engaged and extremely interested in me and what I had to say, engaging in lively interesting conversation, while my favorite music played in the background, feeling wonderful, relaxed and 100% at ease?
Now say I had pictured in my mind the above scenario, do you think I may have had an easier time attending the party, and possibly even wanted to attend the gathering?
