Feel Nervous and Overcome Nervousness !!!

Why do i feel nervous??

I never really thought much about a lot of things, and life was just easy and went on worry-free. I always was shy, and wished to be more outgoing, but it didn't ever really bother me that much. I really didn't think about it.

Anyway, staying on track, this year I have developed an insecurity with getting up and speaking in front of the class. Even speaking up in class is sometimes a challenge. I used to do these things naturally, but now I am constantly asking myself if I'm nervous, if I can talk, etc. I was on speech team at my old school, and I was going to do it this year too. But there was never a meet I could go to, so I dropped it. I feel strange about this whole thing, because I feel like I am more outgoing, and should be able to carry that with me to the front of the room to simply read off a paper or a little report. I think that maybe I feel I should be able to be at ease, and it's weird that I get nervous and my voice shakes. Now it's been a while, so I think I'm finally accepting my weirdness. I just need to deal with it when I'm up there. I know I'll get nervous, so what can I do while up there feeling helpless?

Why do i overcome nervousness??

First of all DON'T WORRY!! You can do it!!!

Giving speeches or presentations are very nervous for people who are not very confident but remember the teacher won't let the other students laugh at you!!!! believe me you will attract yourself if you are embarrassed then you will go red. Think about what you are going to do after the presentations or think of someone who you think is Proud of you and do it for them.

Trust me they won't laugh at you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know how you feel. Best techniques i find.....

1. Is to just focus on one person, way in the back row...probe not a good idea if its one of your mates because they might make funny faces at you lol....personal experiences

2. Don't talk fast. Take your time and slow down.

3. Take a deep breath

4. Don't ever imagine people in the underwear...doesn’t work!

5. Back yourself....believe in yourself. Believe that you will give a good presentation and you will.

6. I find that humor is a good icebreaker.....if you go up there a make a joke about your privation or something to do with it before hand, you will feel more confident and if they don't laugh, they haven’t got a sense of humors!

These are the things i find work best for me.

Remember:

a)Back yourself

b)Joke

c)Talk slow

d)Underwear

e)Deep breath

f)Focus
