<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nBlushing is a natural response to a feeling of shame or embarrassment.<\/strong> To stop blushing learn how to relax in stressful situations. This requires practice and the correct breathing techniques. As you get better at this, you will stop fearing these situations and blushing will no longer be a problem.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Blushing is natural so remember it is only a problem if it affects your ability to communicate or socialise normally. Does it affect your self esteem or confidence? If so, then that is a problem and you should do something about it. Sometimes being over self conscious<\/a> or not relaxed can make this condition worse, but be happy that it can be controlled and you can be more confident and stop blushing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n According to this article<\/a>, one of the main causes of blushing is when someone receives unwanted social attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mark Leary and Kaitlin Toner (2012)<\/a> claim that another important reason for blushing is the feeling that they are being judged socially. <\/p>\n\n\n\n An interesting fact is that the bigger the group of people in which a sufferer finds him\/ herself in, the more serious the blushing as shown in the study by Shearn et al.<\/a> (1992).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Other emotions that appear to cause blushing include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n I can confirm that in my experience, (I suffered from social anxiety and blushing for many years in my teens and through my twenties and thirties), the above research about emotions is correct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I felt very uncomfortable and quickly blushed in situations where I was given attention in groups such as in class. I just wanted to hide during those days and tried to stay as quiet as possible. I was scared of speaking up, especially in bigger groups. I can confirm what Shearn et al. said because my blushing was much less of a problem in very small groups and the thought of speaking to a larger group terrified me.<\/strong> I felt like I was under a hot spotlight and imagined what people were thinking and how they were judging me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I remember feeling shame and acute embarrassment while blushing on many occasions. At a certain point I decided I had to stop my blushing as it was seriously affecting my social life<\/a> and also impacted my academic success. I understand now that blushing and the social anxiety I felt held me back and made me quite isolated and shy.<\/strong> When others were out enjoying themselves I was hiding away with few friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I had to take action and I did. It was not easy and it was a slow process but all these years later I can see how I have progressed and enjoy my social life so much more now. So, if you are experiencing the pain I felt, and wish to stop blushing, the next section should help you enormously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Although there are certain surgical procedures that claim to help reduce blushing, I recommend trying to cure the causes rather than the symptoms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are extremely uncomfortable and blush easily in social situations, the only practical way to overcome this is by confronting your fear and beating the problem through practice. The more you avoid challenging situations which cause you to blush, the worse your problem will get and the worse you will feel about yourself. <\/strong>This can impact your self esteem very negatively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In order to get started on your quest to stop blushing and improve your life, you need to do a little bit of homework and this involves self reflection to understand your problem. Here we go then…<\/p>\n\n\n\n So what is it you fear? Talking to the opposite sex? Speaking in a group?<\/a> Dealing with an aggressive person? Your boss?<\/p>\n\n\n\n When you next have to face one of these challenging situations that you fear and feel yourself begin to blush, try this relaxation technique <\/a>and take control of your thoughts, your breathing, your muscles and feel calmer and more relaxed quickly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you blush too easily and too often then you need to re-balance so that you are more confident and comfortable in stressful situations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So enough said, here are six techniques you can try to help stop your blushing:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Imagine the thermostat on your heating system. If it is set too high it will keep coming on all the time and the rooms in your house will heat up and become unbearable, you would be quite uncomfortable and sweating, unable to relax. This is just like your blushing reflex, it needs to be turned down to the correct level. You need to re-calibrate yourself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Each time you are in a difficult situation, slow down, relax and calm yourself which will enable you to gradually adjust the setting and slowly each time you succeed you will move closer to becoming confident in social situations that were terrifying you before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As bodily reactions to stress happen automatically, it is also a fantastic idea to try self hypnosis<\/a> which can make a huge difference in beating this problem. I can recommend to you a self hypnosis download which deals with exactly the problem you are facing. It will help you gain control and become comfortable and confident in all kinds of stressful social occasions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Just imagine how much this would mean to you in your daily life.
