Diet is another key factor. Here are some steps to take. Eat a lot of fruits and vegetables because these foods contain alkaline minerals which turn on your parasympathic nervous system, the branch that calms you down.
Also, take care to eat enough protein, whether it be from meat, fish, and eggs or protein powder. Protein is the nutrient most responsible for producing neurotransmitters in the brain like serotonin, which keep you calm and alert..
Kick coffee to the curb and cut down on alcohol if you have to, these substances will kick your body into panic mode if you are prone to
panic while giving speeches.
Last but not least, you need to train your brain. What would you say if I could teach you a method that's like having a safety net inside your brain for when the jitters start.
There are a few good programs out there that can teach you these techniques, the Linden Method and Panic Away are great. I personally recommend
Panic Away for it's ease of use and effectiveness.
What this method does is it teaches you to move activity from the emotional midbrain area to the logical forebrain area. Once the forebrain area is dominate you will not feel panicky emotions.
And once you learn this technique you can apply it to any area of your life where you get nervous or experience
panic attacks.
Public speaking panic may seem insurmountable, but if you follow the steps above I guarantee you will surprise yourself the next time you have to give a speech. You will be great and all your panic will just melt away.
End Your Public Speaking Panic For Good!
