Your heart is palpitating, your mouth is dry and those knees are a knocking. You are starting to go into a panic as the time is drawing near for that public speaking assignment that you have been dreading ever since you heard about it. Just know that those public speaking nerves do not have to be a part of your life forever.
Within this article, we are going to give you a couple of tips that will help you to get over those horrible public speaking nerves that are plaguing you. If you follow the tips described in the paragraphs below, then you will be able to say goodbye to those butterflies that leap into your stomach when you hear the words "public speaking".
The first quick technique we have to help you get over those public speaking nerves consist of deep breathing. When you practice deep breathing, you will be pulling in plenty of oxygen. Adrenalin that has been secreted in order to help you deal with those fears has given you little doubts and will cause your breathing to become shallow, or could even cause you to hold your breath. Deep breathing is going to help you to think clearly while speaking and will also help you to get rid of that feeling of panic.
The second technique we have for you is to stand up tall with your chest out and your shoulders back. Right now you may not feel confident or happy, but you should do this anyway. This means you will look confident and happy and your body will begin to fool your brain into thinking that you are happy and confident. You may not think that it works, but it does - it's simply mind over matter.
As you are going to a public speaking event, you will need to make sure you keep both your throat and your mouth hydrated. You should plan to be holding a drink in your hands as you are speaking in public, even if this sounds impossible to you. You can place your glass right where you need it to be and visualize that you are able to use it whenever you need it.
Adrenalin is known for sending that blood rushing right to those flight/fight centers in your brain, which is found right at the base of your skull. You should put your hand up to your forehead and push lightly on those parts that are bony. Doing this is going to help the blood in your brain to go to the parts where you need it the most.
In the end, you should know that you are prepared, but obviously this all depends on actually getting prepared. During the days that lead up to the big speech, you should make sure you take the opportunity to get yourself completely ready. When you are prepared and you know everything you are going to say, then you will not panic as much making those public speaking nerves easier to shake.
