Cure for blushing that worked for me!...

I've become an almost chronic blusher until my therapist sent me the following information to look over. Nothing earth shattering, just a different way of thinking.

"What happens to you does not, by itself, cause how you feel or what you do. People do not make you angry. You make yourself angry about what people do. Bad things do not make you feel sad or depressed. You make yourself feel sad or depressed. Dangerous situations do not make you scared. You make yourself scared. People or things do not make you happy. You do. It is what happens to you AND what you believe it means to you or about you that results in how you feel and what you do. This is pretty good news because it gives you a lot of freedom."

That's it. I had to read this over and over to let it sink in and realize that I had a lot of control that I was simply giving away to others. I'm about 95% blush-free now, which is fine with me because EVERYONE blushes at some point in their lives. Don't know if it will help everyone but I thought I'd post it.

Good luck with this.
