How Public Speakers Overcome Stage Fright
There are countless occasions when you have to give a presentation in front of an audience. Probably those are also the times you are encountered with stage fright — or glossophobia. Having butterflies in your stomach, you may lose your energy, forget some points during your speech and show some awkward body gestures like fast pulse, shaky hands or trembling lips.
Can you completely eliminate stage fright? Sadly you barely can. However, for successful presenters, they do not try to avoid it but think of it as their motivator, so that it pushes them to prepare better for their speeches. You can also redirect your anxiety so that you can make more powerful performances with these not-so-small tips from us!
Take up healthy lifestyle habits (exercise, eating, etc)
This sounds irrelevant to controlling stage fright, you may ask, yet it actually helps you get better physical and mental conditions for your D-Day. For instance, a lack of sleep may get you drowsy during your speech, while an over-reliance on caffeinated beverages will stimulate your jitters, something you obviously won’t want to face. A healthy lifestyle also brings you a sound mind, surrounds you with a positive vibe and pumps you up in even tough situations. If you haven’t followed this lifestyle yet, you can take little steps by abandoning 1–2 negative habits and taking up good ones everyday until everything is on the right track.
