Do you have butterflies in your stomach before making presentations?

Though i wont do presentations two or three times i have presented some of article which i have written and one or two poems in front of small group of people and it wasnt easy for me one or two times i decided not to present it bcoz of these butter flies and understanding that it is cowardisam and i continued to present each time .in fact the appreciation about my articles was something else .Always the starting trouble seems to be the problem and after that a smooth finish.

I used to get butterflies in my stomach, the same way as you do now, but over time, I've become quite relaxed and used to it. It's a bit like going to the dentist, I guess! lol. Try some Kalms... they're natural, herbal tablets which you can buy from your local Health Food Shop, or some chemists and they work wonders. If you don't fancy that, put a few drops of lavender oil on a hankie and take with you, inhaling it occasionally before and during the presentation to calm your nerves. Good luck and Brightest Blessings.

i think public speaking is one of most nerve wracking things we ever do. I go through stages of blind panic before a presentation, then a few hours before a cool calm comes over me and i focus on the issues in hand blessed be

its not a nice feeling to be nervous about something but i think that nervous energy is useful when you make your presentations. It's almost as though more of your personality shines through. If someone is totally at easy when doing a presentation, it is often boring and not particularly passionate and therefore it makes it less interesting for the audience.

When I first started, there were not only butterflies but scorpions too. After few consecutive presentations, I begin to get the thrill of it. I forgot myself and it went smoothly. One trick I learnt - deep breathing before the presentation and treat the audience as invisibles. It works surprisingly. lol.

I get worked up into an absoloute tizzy if I have to give a speach or presentation. My hands shake. My voice wavers, no one can hear me. My face turns bright red. I swear I can feel the blopod thumping throughout my head and face and when I was younger I even used to get chest pains. I have grown out of some of that to a degree, because I realised that most of the time no one is paying that close attention anyway and will probably not even notice if I make a mistake! I always enjoy the question and answers period, as I feel more relaxed once the formal part is completed.
