Blushing is a very normal phenomenon, but for many people, turning red is an embarrassing experience. What can you do to master blushing?
1. Blush your healthy Before we completely unlearn ourselves from blushing, remember that a tan on your cheeks can also be very charming. Poets—from Shakespeare to Yates—make the most beautiful phrases about blushing women. A blush is associated with being in love and often makes women prettier in the eyes of men. Research from the University of Nevada shows that people tend to find blushers to be nicer and more sincere than those who respond stoically to the attention of others. Blushing is also healthy:the blood circulation keeps the skin young and supple. You can also see blushing as a sign of a healthy lifestyle because people who are outside a lot blush more quickly. Research by the University of Amsterdam shows that people who are afraid to blush often do not change color more than someone else. If you have to give a PowerPoint presentation or a speech during a wedding party, it is completely normal that you color red. Pay attention to other people in socially stressful situations. You will see that others also suffer from red eyes.
2. Forget your red cheeks
Do you still find blushing embarrassing? Distract yourself when you feel your cheeks turn red. Try to think of something else:focus on an object or the color of your colleague's socks, try to do a complicated calculation in your head. The faster you get distracted from the thought that you are blushing, the sooner your red cheeks will disappear.
3. Make your blush negotiable
Another method is to simply name the blush. "Here I go again with my bright red head." If you say something about it yourself, you take control again and you can put it into perspective more quickly. You'll feel better and your blush will fade faster.
4 Tackle your fear For many people, blushing is an expression of a deeper social anxiety:they are afraid that they are not good enough, they have a fear of failure or cannot stand up for themselves. Every time this vulnerable side comes up they turn a color like a lobster. Often there is a deeper insecurity hidden behind the fading of color. When people get a more positive self-image, blushing really decreases. Cognitive behavioral therapy can work for blushers:you learn to control your feelings in tense situations.
5. Get older
Several studies show that old age is the best medicine against blushing. Women who get older often become more confident and feel more at ease with others. So a small consolation:blushing can go away on its own.
