All right everybody, make that phone call!

Hello my fellow phone anxiety peers! A lot of us know the dread of that phone call we have to make, whether it is making a doctors appointment, asking the customer service center for help with the problems you are experiencing, calling the plumber or something else. We push these calls for later, dreading them more and more, as the time starts to pressure us. Usually, the calls we need to make accumulate, and we soon end up avoiding an entire list of calls we really should make.

I found that once I get myself to handle one of them, it is easier for me to immediately handle the rest of them too as i feel encouraged by making it through the first one, often even happy for one of my issues being solved. Therefore, I like to have an errands/calls day where i spend the day handling the calls and other procrastinated chores and contacts like going to the post office etc. I personally found it helpful to act immediately on the impulse of I should call - dial the number so overthinking doesn´t have time to kick in.

Soooo, let´s have a make that call day! Tell us about the calls/procrastinated errands you really should get done and take this as a sign to take a deep breath and do it. You are brave for facing your fear, and remember, the people on the other side are there to help you, and often genuinely want to do so 😊 Making a call is not dangerous, noone will hurt you, and even if your brain perceives it as a bear attack, take a deep breath and remind yourself that there is no bear chasing you and you are safe 🌻 The people on the other side get paid to handle your stuff and they often even want you to call them 🌻 I believe in you and you got this 😊 If you feel like you need some encouragement, tell us what your fears are and encourage each other to make your calls. Don´t forget to celebrate your wins, and let us know if you made a call, you are doing great and we are proud of you 😊
