How To Deal With Public Speaking Nerves

The biggest fear most people have is getting in front of a group of people and speaking. People get worked and stressed out anticipating the moment with something I like to call the public speaking nerves. This is the negative feeling that makes you sick and shake in fear. I hope to help give advice for dealing with this.

Fear is Normal

You're going to have to accept the fact that fear is usually going to remain, but that doesn't mean you have to have a nervous breakdown on stage. Typically the fear tends to feel different as you get better. It is still there in your mind, but your mind learns to harness and use it as excitement. Our public speaking nerves get the best of us a lot of the time and it can be difficult to stop it while you're walking up to the podium, so the best thing you can do is use the energy for your benefit and make that speech exciting.

Visualization

This isn't going to save you in front of an audience. Visualization is a great tool to help you before you have to give your speech. You can visualize doing everything successfully and this will ease your nerves. Typically, it is the nerves before you get on stage that are the worst and you can practically eliminate them all.

You're Going To Make Mistakes

You have to accept the fact that you're going to make some sort of mistake and this shouldn't cause your public speaking nerves to go haywire. Everyone is going to make a mistake, if it be stumbling on a word, losing your train of thought, etc. It all happens and when you watch speeches, you know that no one generally cares. It happens, but no one cares. The speaker goes back to what they were saying and everything is fine. Just remember that.
