Public speaking/performance anxiety
Hi there, I really struggle with anxiety in the lead up to work presentations and even sometimes if there’s no upcoming obligation but I see others doing it... I’d keen to start proactively talking the problem but am looking for suggestions and advice on the best steps to take... Looking forward to hearing from you!
@dynamicAcres2021 I am the same way and have a lot of anxiety before presentations, interviews, or anything which requires presenting myself. And to this day I still do have a lot fo anxiety and I think it helps to accept the feelings like oh this is anxiety even though it may be uncomfortable. Meditation and mindfulness about just letting feelings be but still doing whatever needs to be done helps me. What also may help is this video about viewing the stress and anxiety as a friend (it's a pretty good TED talk) https://www.ted.com/talks/kelly_mcgonigal_how_to_make_stress_your_friend. There's probably many takes on how to manage the anxiety, but these are the ones I recommend :)
