This micro practice invites you to step into mild social discomfort and gently loosen the imagined fear of being judged. Based on principles from Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), these exercises help us challenge the beliefs that make us anxious about others’ opinions, so we can respond with more freedom, ease, and self-trust.
In this practice, you’ll:
🌿 Choose a harmless, slightly awkward act something that feels mildly embarrassing but safe.
🌿 Step into it fully, noticing your thoughts and sensations as you go.
🌿 Reflect on how much attention others actually paid (often far less than you imagined).
🌿 Discover your own resilience and the relief that comes from meeting fear with curiosity, not avoidance.
Examples of tasks:
As you complete the exercise, notice: your anxiety, your reactions, and the reality of how others actually respond. Often, fear dissolves into laughter, and you return to your own okay-ness.
