How Do You Deal With Being Nervous?
• First, take a deep breath. Count to ten as you breathe in, hold your breath for a count of ten, and breathe out to a count of ten. Keep doing this until you feel calm once more. • Say, “I can do this.” Say this until you yourself believe this. Concentrate entirely on yourself doing the task that makes you nervous. • Imagine yourself, not only doing the task successfully, but doing it magnificently and in the best way possible. For example, if you are nervous about talking to a crush, imagine yourself striking up a funny, engaging conversation that has everyone laughing and him/her looking at you in a whole new way. Keeping that picture in your mind, do it!
