Biggest Tip for Overcoming Camera Shyness and Fear of Being on Video

You must do this if you are camera shy. This tip works on the basic psychological principal of 'de-sensitization' which means it bypasses and 'confidence' barriers, thoughts about your own looks (whether you love them or don't love them so much) etc!

Here it is... straight from my original post on Instagram:

This is my biggest tip for overcoming camera-shyness or even audio recorder shyness / fear of your own voice. It may not sound like much... but there is great psychology to it... BUT here's the key: once you do this you MUST force yourself to listen to it or watch it fully no matter how 'bad' it is or uncomfortable you feel. This is the most important psychological piece (in my opinion). It's desensitizing or formally called desensitization. ... and no matter what your 'reason(s)' are for hiding or staying quiet... it's a way around them without over-focusing on them (which can sometimes only make things even tougher!) Hope you enjoyed this tip. Remember, just one little bit at a time. We're not going for speed here.
