There's no painless answer to the problem of blushing excessively. Whereas there are numerous issues you could ponder on to overcome the problem of blushing excessively, in this article I will focus on one crucial item that will have the most effect on your ability to overcome this problem of blushing excessively.

When trying to get to the bottom of a secondary problem linked to the fear of blushing excessively, I inadvertently stumbled on the way to overcome the problem of blushing excessively, viz. 'stop resisting'-when something occurs, you have to let it materialize and let yourself undergo it without fighting against the feelings.

I was going through a cassette about defeating social phobia. The cassette was very enlightening but the primary detail to come across in it was to 'stop resisting' - the orator said time and again that it is crucial to let things happen and allow yourself to feel things without fighting against them. When we feel an emotion that doesn't seem sensible or which we don't want, it is quite typical to reason with ourselves, telling ourselves we must not feel this way or that way. The more we struggle to force ourselves to change or relax, the more demanding it becomes. This sort of thinking causes the depressing thoughts to mount, instead of suppressing them. Resisting these feelings makes it even more hard.

As Carl Jung-the founder of analytical psychology and an infuential intellectual and Swiss psychiatrist-says, 'what you resist, persists'. The more you resist a thought or emotion in your mind and the more you try to defy it, the stronger and more intensified it becomes. Whenever you redden, if you try to defy it, you will go more red in the face and more frequently than before.

If you are continuously anxious about blushing and trying to mentally induce yourself not to, you are simply making yourself more sensitive to the problem. The more frightened you get about it, the worse it'll become. This is how individuals quickly move from easy blushing to excessive, acute blushing.

Until you learn how to stop fighting against your blushing, you're not going to stop blushing excessively. This is the primary part of the answer though there are other things you need to do. The primary factor is not to misjudge the letting go of resistance. If you have fought against blushing for years, this isn't going to be a walk in the park. It's easy to reason, 'right, stop opposing it and I will never ever blush again', but it can simply take months or years to quit the cycle of blushing. Figuring out how opposing it can go against you is step one. When you understand that, you are well on your way to defeating your excessive blushing.
