Breathing Can Help but It’s Not Enough
Deep breathing helps fix your anxiety for the moment, but It doesn’t create a sense of lasting peace, which is what you need to get through the next speaking engagement (on stage or in a meeting). Instead, build a repeatable system you can use in every situation and include breathing in that framework. For example: - Determine what’s most important to say - Map out 3 supporting points - Bring it home - 5 deep breathes before speaking in a private place (the bathroom, closet, your car, or an room)
