Social conditioning makes most people run away from uncomfortable situations and fear. It comes down to personal responsibility, and naturally most will take the path of least resistance.

Thank you so much for commenting! I am really excited about this, because you are the first person to comment that I do not yet know personally! So thank you for taking the time to read it! Once again, it all comes down to being aware and increasing your awareness and building connections that you were blind to before. Best, Tomas Hey Eduard!

Thanks for the comment! You mentioned control over the mind. Great point to address. Controlling your mind can be achieved by meditation, which creates awareness and also by building positive and constructive habits. I have covered meditation in my previous posts, but the best way to control the mind is by subjecting your body to resistanace such as working out, running, doing what you do not enjoy doing. The more you over come challenges posed by those activities the more your mind will become your tool rather than your enemy. I hope that helps! Remember that the secret is in application of the theory, not the mere reading of it! Hey Zenobia!

Also, if you are looking to work on your public speaking skills I highly recommend looking into this organization : http://www.toastmasters.org/. I just joined it. It's really worth your time. If you have any questions just call me. Also, if you don't mind, I would like to comment on the question regarding genes and social conditioning. My personal belief is that is all social conditioning. We grow up in a society which generally discourages risk taking. The system generally punishes failure as opposed to embracing it. Therefor it almost seems natural to avoid uncomfortable situations because everybody else is doing it. It mostly comes down to environment in which we grow up and live in. If you change your environemnt, you will see the possibiliteis you never knew were there! Thanks for reading! Best, Tomas Hey Karoli:

I am excited to see that people read what I write. I love your point about fear and how to deal with it. The analogy is the best! Really relevant and to the point! I always appreciate the support of fellow friends and bloggers! If you don't mind...I will steal your line.... Here is to the Eastern Block takeover! Best, Tomas Hey Oleg:

Good point! It's natural for people to turn to their comforts when they can't take control of a negative situation. Some turn to alcohol, cigarettes, or illicit drugs. And many turn to their emotions. It's easier to be the victim-dwelling in a pool of tears and negativity rather than taking control of your situation. I know you listed a method of overcoming this habit. However, I think it takes more than a 4-step method. It takes controlling your mind to control your emotions. Any suggestions on controlling the mind? Emotions are an addiction! Good point! It’s natural for people to turn to their comforts when they can’t take control of a negative situation.
