I have a big preso tomorrow. To about 100 attendees. I have to talk for about 10-12 mins and I'm prepared. It's just that I get so nervous my heart starts pounding crazy fast.
My previous presos have also been in front of the same crowd but that was for like 2-3 mins as I had someone share the time but tomorrow am all alone. Which means that I need to take questions as well.
My heart rate is already high thinking of tomorrow ๐ค can someone give me some tips to calm down? Please don't say slow breathing because it just makes it worse for me ๐ญ
I've also been told I give great presos but I gaslight myself into thinking it was bad. I've prepared pretty well but still nervous as shit as this is the biggest one so far.
Am off to the gym now to take mind off things and just relax. I'll go crazy otherwise
You're nervous because you know you are good and don't want to disappoint. And you're nervous because you're doing a good thing that you want to do. So being nervous isn't such a bad thing. The adrenaline helps with performance too.
So many hugs. You can do this. We're so proud of you. ๐๐๐๐๐
Thank you โค๏ธ๐ฅบ
