5 ways To avoid nervousness

5 ways To avoid nervousness
Nervousness can easily get the best of us. In situations like public speaking, first date, meeting new people, interviews and so on, most of us tends to feel highly excited, acutely uneasy and unnatural. This can be easily detected by the person you are with or the people you are addressing. Nervousness can be a serious disease for most people but it can also be cured so easily. I've witnessed it being a big problem to most of my friends and that's why I decided to share with you my experience on how to overcome nervousness.
Dress comfortably
This applies all through. Whether you are going for a date, an interview , a public speaking session, or somewhere new, you should put on clothes that you feel comfortable wearing. You might have that pair of Jordans that you like so much but your feet don't fit easily, no. You won't be able to walk easily and you won't be at ease. You might also have that pair of heels that you purchased just the other day but you still don't know how to walk with them. Please, put on your flats. The more comfortable you are in your general outfit the lesser your chances of getting nerve-wrecked.
Remember no one knows you are nervous
Except for yourself. You are the only person who can tell how nervous you are so don't worry about other people. Don't concentrate on your nervousness because the more you do so the more it will start showing up. Take slow, deep breaths and concentrate on your breathing. This would help calm down your body. It would also help you avoid concentrating on your nervousness.
Take the situation positively
Think of yourself passing the interview, think of yourself being the most fluent speaker, visualize yourself doing your best in whatever task you are up for. This will help you reduce the pressure of being a looser. Say to yourself, "I can do this and I'm going to do it." Then relax your body minutes before the big event. Try sitting somewhere alone and calm your muscles, relax your mind. Be relaxed, you are not facing a death sentence.
Practice what you are going to do
If you know you might develop some nervousness during the big event, have sometime to practice what you are going to do. You can take a small group of friends and visualize them as the big audience, then practice what you are to speak about while allowing them to do corrections. You can also pick a friend and have a tutorial date or a sample interview . The more experienced you are the more your chances of doing excellent. Give it a try so that it won't appear so strange.
Seek professional guidance
Talk to someone , a friend, family, classmate, teammate, groupie. Share with them, freely, what makes you nervous. This will help reduce your anxiety. Another friend might also be having the same problem and this will help you team up on better ways to cope with your anxiety. Talk to a professional. You can seek help from a therapist or a psychologist. They will help you come up with better ways to deal with such stuff, either through medication, therapy or professional talk and training.

Why did you laugh?

Why did you laugh? When you know your smile robs me of my senses, Takes my identity and also flashes my bright eyes, Unable to think about anything else but submit to you, Rob me of my masculinity and make me feel like a little boy. Passionately, intimately, you look me straight in the eyes, For your eyes are the windows to your heart, I can gaze straight through your beautiful soul, For I trust your eyes will never lie, no matter how hard you'd try. You should know, three things that makes my life complete  Are love, laughter, and you, my drug, my addiction, The laughter has lasted since the very first moment  Falling for you babynaa, has been so much fun. Regardless of whether it's giggles at the kitchen table  Or even full loud laughter any place we're capable  Every single smile, is an image of our affection  You're my dream come true, all I ever dreamt of. Our adoration, well that is somewhat more significant  Radiating through when our giggling is rid...

WHEN I WAS YOUNG

I would hide my arms in my shirt and tell people I've lost my arms.๐Ÿ™ˆ I would restart a video game when I knew I was going to loose.๐Ÿ˜‚ I ,not once, made my friends think they have got something either on the back or the forehead and pretend that I'm rubbing it but end up smacking real hard ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ lol๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ I would close my eyes and act like nobody is seeing me ๐Ÿ˜ต  I would sleep with all stuffed animals so none of them gets offended๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜… I had that one pen with six colours and wanted to push all the buttons at once. If you never used it then you missed out on such a great  item. Or do they still exist๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚  I would pour soda on the caps and act like I'm taking shots at the bubbles..like pap pap pap ๐Ÿ˜ˆ . I would wait behind the door to scare someone,but ended up leaving the scene  because they took long or I had to go pee or took another direction instead ๐Ÿ˜ญ I would fake being asleep so my mom would carry me to bed. I would even hold my breath to make the nap seem mo...

I have a Secret Too

Yeah, everybody has a secret. I have one, too. Most of my friends know, But what about you? I can't explain what I'm feeling. Could it be true? I'm not sure, but I think I'm falling for you. To be honest, I think it's quite possible. It's funny how this feeling grew. I'm falling once again, But this time it's for you. Tell me you like me Or at least give me a clue. I know this feeling I've felt it before, But that was different 'Cause he walked out the door... I could be losing it, But I'll let the rain pour Because a day without you Is like hitting the floor. All over again, I'll fight this war... Standing here with you feels so right, But something's wrong. This rhyme is a little off, But I'll sing this song. It's beautiful Because its melody is so lovely, but somehow it doesn't belong. It doesn't have to be perfect, So why don't you sing along? I'm being honest. I can't...
