BUILDING CONFIDENCE
Go Someplace Alone
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Most people are uncomfortable about eating alone in restaurants or going to the theater by themselves. However, when you don't have a companion, going by yourself can open new doors, and give you the opportunity to meet new people.
For example - last weekend my husband was out of town, and I noticed that the Ballet Folklorico De Mexico was going to be performed on Saturday night. I had seen the ballet before and really wanted to see it again, but I couldn't find anyone to go with.
I thought to myself, "I have two choices. I can go to the theater alone, or I can stay home." I decided to go to the theater alone.
I arrived very early to buy a ticket, and I met a lady who was taking her five year old granddaughter to the ballet. We had a delightful conversation and discovered that we both grew up in Ohio. After I found my seat, I met another lady who was also sitting by herself. I invited her to sit in the empty seat next to mine. The show was even better than I anticipated, and I had a wonderful time - all because I was willing to "go it alone."
*** From the Secrets of Self confidence workshop.
