TIPS TO OVERCOME PUBLIC SPEAKING ANXIETY 1. TURN ANXIETY INTO ENERGY.
When it comes to public speaking one of the best ways to overcome anxiety and nervousness is to use the energy that your body generates as a result of you being so nervous.
One of the coolest things about being anxious is that our bodies produce various chemicals (like cortisol) when we anticipate something, we’re afraid of. This actually results in an increased amount of adrenaline and energy. But
most people are too busy being afraid to actually think about channeling their anxiety into energy and enthusiasm.
The key is to use this energy when it arises to connect with your audience and deliver your message with power and purpose.
2. HAVE A DEEP DESIRE TO TALK.
3. PRACTICE.
4. THINK OF YOURSELF AS A MESSENGER.
5. KNOW YOUR INTRO + YOUR OUTRO.
When it comes to public speaking and life in general your desire must be equal to the effort that success demands. Have a burning desire. Have enthusiasm.
Set aside time to practice. Write it down. Schedule it. Time block it.
If you don’t practice, your anxiety will be at least 10X worse than it would be if you had.
Do you know what you’re going to talk about?
What’s the point of the whole talk? Figure that out. Know what you’re going to talk about. Know it well.
Have a message and think of yourself as the messenger and remember that people care more about the message than the messenger. Master your message.
Don’t try to memorize your speech it tends to make you more nervous trying to remember exactly what to say. Instead, just practice your points, and if you memorize anything, memorize the beginning of your talk, and
the end of your talk. Know your INTRO. Know your OUTRO.
6. USE PROPS.
7. BREATHE.
8. TALK WITH CONFIDENCE.
It’ll help you believe in yourself and your message because you’ll be speaking with stern intention.
9. JUST DO IT.
Consider finding a prop to use, or write on index cards. Having something to do or show can help you suppress that everyone’s looking at me” feeling.
Regulate your bodily actions:
– Breath in deep through your nose (inhale), and then release slowly through the mouth (exhale) – Focus on your breath while you do this. It helps. Big time.
