Overcoming Public Speaking Anxiety

Overcoming Public Speaking Anxiety
The list is divided into two parts: The Obvious and The Not-So-Obvious. These tactics, in conjunction with our advice on public speaking and an appropriate herbal supplement application, along with adequate preparation, will enable you to construct and execute an articulate public speech.
It is extremely important to have a thorough understanding of your topic. Knowing a great deal about the topic will enable you to overcome public speaking anxiety (stage fright) and will convey to the audience your interest and passion for the material. Also, by immersing yourself in the topic, you actually shift the focus off of yourself and onto the message, moderating much of the self-consciousness that is associated with public speaking anxiety.
While this may sound like a no-brainer, it is a key element for overcoming public speaking anxiety. Taking long, deep breaths and holding them in for five seconds or more prior to delivering a speech, wedding toast, retirement speech or any other presentation will greatly assist relaxation. It controls accelerated heart rhythms, loosens tight neck and shoulder muscles and delivers beneficial oxygen to the brain, increasing focus and ultimately reducing public speaking anxiety (stage fright). Take a walk, if necessary, before your speech to burn off some of the anxious energy you experience. Remember to breathe during your speech. This will allow you to speak more slowly and concentrate on your material.
Focus on your objective.
This seems obvious, but why are you giving this presentation? Are you trying to sell something to your audience? Are you trying to teach or inform your audience? If you get back to focusing on why you are in this position, you will find yourself focusing less on your public speaking anxiety ( stage fright) that may be taking over what you are trying to accomplish.
