Myth #2: Apprehension dumbs down your work quality
One of the most general beliefs is that nervousness acted as a detriment to our performance. This negative feeling is one of the major causes of people tending to feel nervous. Conquering this belief will enable you to easily overcome your tension.
When you are scared, you usually determine the scenario depending on how you feel. Is this the correct method to assess the quality of your speech? No, this is the most inaccurate method because of these reasons:
a. Feelings are invisible to listeners and only felt by us. We feel that it is seen makes us feel all the more nervous.
b. Logical thought process gets skewed due to tension, when this happens nervous reaches the peak leading our mind to draw self-defeating conclusions.
c. In this aspect, I feel that we behave in a manner detrimental to our growth. We mull over small mistakes and worry about one inconsequential point we omitted from our speech. In reality our listeners are happy with our speech and we forget all about it.
A good way to get rid of this nervousness is by delivering talks to your close friends and ask them rate it. You will realize that none of your listeners would ever know about your tension.
