As part of the initial training we need to put our frame of mind into an area where we do like to meet people and we are comfortable having people around us.

Start by making small but noticeable changes to your daily life, for example next time you are in a grocery store, try to say something out of the ordinary with the cashier.

All of these are key points that will help you to make the whole business of talking to a stranger feel natural and even enjoyable.

You may notice the woman goes on the defense on some occasions, this is hardly anything to concern yourself. Try to stick to the subject and smile reassuringly looking for an answer. This will definitely open up to a conversation with her which is what you want.

With practice you will get the hang of it and you won’t think twice about approaching someone to talk to. Fix in your mind that there are absolutely no hang-ups in going up to someone and just striking a conversation and it will be like child’s play.
