Public speaking can make you feel very nervous.
Here are 3 tips to reduce nervousness:
1. Practice deep breathing. Close your eyes, take a deep breathe through your nose and exhale through your mouth slowly. Take your time. Enjoy every breathe.
2. Once you have calmed down a bit, reflect on what you are thinking about at this very moment. Try to find what makes you feel nervous. Nervousness is the effect, the cause lies somewhere in your mind; your thoughts.
3. Once you found the thoughts that lead you to feeling nervous, try to challenge them. Are they true facts or subjective opinions? Are they reality or assumption? What’s the worst thing that could happen, and is it really the worst thing?
Bonus: Take a pen and paper and do no. 2 & 3 in writing. When you put it in writing, it becomes visible and concrete. If it stays in your mind, it is abstract.
Hope that helps!
