Hi y'all! This week I had the opportunity to be invited to the Beyonce concert by a few of my favorite brands and it was SO FUN! This year has been full of amazing moments like that and I am so incredibly grateful. BUT as someone with social anxiety, going into those events not knowing a soul can be intimidating. I also live alone and get a little paranoid at night (as hot girls do) so I came up with a list of the ways I've learned to cope with these anxieties.

1. Look out the "front door"

2. Create your own narrative

3. "What would Satan say?"

4. Your 40 year old self would want you to enjoy this

5. "It doesn't matter, I'm the birthday girl"

6. Feel the music

7. Your stress response makes sense

I hope as you listen you're able to find a few tricks you can use in the moment to make a social situation a little less daunting or help calm your mind in a moment of panic. If there's anything that helped or anything you want to hear about on BS with Bethany Simko, I'd love to hear from you!
