Nervy

Fellow speaker,

To help get rid of the "pre-speech jitters":
  1. Clench your hands as tightly as you can
  2. Release them completely
  3. Shake out the tension in the hands
  4. Repeat until your hands feel relaxed
You can also clench and release your jaw, arms, shoulders, legs, etc. Each time you release you will find your muscles relaxing a little bit more.

Relaxed,

Tim
