Great article, great information. How do you deal with nerves when you speak with strangers, your boss, someone who is important, or during the interview?

Very true! Too many nerves and complete lack of them are never good, that’s why they exist. While some people may work better under stressful situations (i.e. an exam), others get completely blocked and this depends mainly on personality type.

Unfortunately those feelings of nervousness are probably what save us from a lot of failures as they do sharpen our awareness. To be too confident and having nerves of steel sometimes blinds us to a lot of disasters that could have been avoided if we were just a bit more cautious and aware.

I have know many people that almost have stress collapses before exams…they are the ones that ace everyone of them. The cool confident ones almost always come out barely passing.

Just proves for everything we deem a negative there is a positive waiting just around the corner :)

I did one of those “swim with the dolphins” things once, and it was so much fun!

Thanks for dropping by my blog and leaving such a lovely comment :)

Thank you! For me it’s hard to stop my mind from going all over the place, but breathing definitely helps.

Oh that would be a good one to include! I don’t play/sing/perform so I don’t know what that would be like. I also think I’d need a drink or two to get started though ;)

What a great post, Luana. :)

I have been a bundle of nerves for most of my life and it was only maybe 2 years ago that my shyness finally broke through! I think when going into a stressful situation, it’s best to calm yourself down beforehand, just so your mind doesn’t go in a frenzy! One thing I do before is to breathe deeply with my eyes closed for a few minutes and try to clear my head, and then go ahead and do it!

By the way, I’m not a phone person at all either! :-p
