Okay, it's your first day at a new school. You've been stressing the night before if you'll make any friends on that day. You are worried that you won't be able to introduce yourself or go up to someone and strike a conversation.

I've been there, knowing exactly how you feel. You have butterflies in your stomach and you are thinking the worst of things. What if I'm not able to click with anyone, if I look out of place?

Now by thinking these thoughts already, you are letting what might happen come to reality. This will occur because your body language during they day will be evident that you are shy.

You must try to think differently. Think about all the new people you will meet! Think about the new opportunities that will make you grow and develop as a person! If you think positive, your body language will naturally show you are a more approachable guy.

Below are some tips on what to do on the first day of school or work.

SMILE. Make sure you keep a happy face. This will make you attract more people to you. They will feel warm around you.

Dress to impress! Makes sure you groom yourself nicely and dress yourself in your uniform neatly to attract more people

There are bound to people that will be in the same boat as you in a new school. They won't know anyone and will most likely be standing there as well. Their face will light up if someone, anyone approaches them and starts making a conversation. Why don't you be that someone?

Be pro-active, not passive!! Remember, one of the greatest joys in life is helping people. You may be shy, but there are always people who have more shyness than you. Start approaching people that people may not talk to because of how they look or how they dress.

Start to think and say positive things about yourself. Before you go to school, go in front of a mirror and start affirming yourself and say things like "You are confident" and "You are an over comer of all things". Don't start thinking that you are worthless and you'll never be able to strike a conversation with anyone. If you do this, you are going to fail before you even start.

Anyways, I hope these are some tips you can use on your first day of school. This should assist you in making friends quicker than you think. You will feel a sense of accomplishment at the end.

All the Best,

John Hogan
