Getting out of your comfort-zone #juststart
Being an introvert the skill that fascinates me is speaking well in front of unknown audience. This maybe a piece of cake for some people but for me it’s like a dream come true moment. Whenever suddenly I get a chance to face the audience i feel like i’m going to die in a few moments, my whole body drench in sweat. The moment I face the audience willy nilly and try to speak, my voice gets feebler and shaky. When I come back to my comfort zone after speaking few words in front of audience, I spend days and night feeling ashamed.
I was always looking forward to groom this skill but whenever I got a chance to volunteer my self for delivering a lectures I procrastinated because of fear. I got another chance few days back when a teacher offered me to deliver a programming course lectures,I was about to say “No” to him but then I asked him that I will tell him about my decision later.
“You may delay but time will not…”
In one of my project work I have to take action on something I’m afraid to do. It reminded me of the offer I got few days back from one of my university teacher. I contacted him that I’m willing to deliver some lectures to students. He asked me to be prepared on Friday. I had only one thought in my mind till Friday that I've to deliver a lecture. My brain was on fire due to excessive stress but I used to calm down myself by thinking about some other activities and events. Eventually the final day started, on Friday when I was about to start speaking one of my friend encouraged me and stood next to me, I started delivering lecture I was nervous but I observed that after first 15 minutes I was feeling quite normal. I wanted to resolve their queries but next 30 minutes ended too early.



Learning from this Experience:
After this experience I feel that starting out things is very difficult, sometime this the only difficult obstacle to overcome and our journey onward turn out to be very smooth and pleasing. I came to know that we can control our fear level by just controlling our thoughts in brain. Fear is natural but we can overcome it with our own effort. I will try to face my fear of public speaking by delivering lectures once in a month it will help me eradicate fear of public speaking from myself.
Fear has a large shadow but he himself is small
