College Student Anxiety

[Bpirgy08]

I am a person who suffers from anxiety and I am a college student. I like to participate in class but have a fear of speaking in-front of others. Any tips to curb or lessen this type of anxiety?

I coach singers. After observing our favs, we noticed that all of them were absolutely sincere about the words of the song. I began suggesting to singers who are nervous about performing in front of crowds to focus intently on the spirit and meaning of the words. It keeps them and us on the highest level of involvement. Maybe if you focus on truth and values when speaking in class, your questions or information will be so compelling it will not only distract you from your nerves, but people will be fortunate to be engaged as you are. Or, just do the old trick… imagine everyone is in their underpants. Enjoy class!!

Thank you for the words of encouragement, and a little laughter.
