How To Deal With The Jitters

Thursday, January 21st, 2010

I have to tell you a personal story that involves me being incredibly nervous to speak in public, and I wanted to call myself down. Of course, I am addicted to my iPhone, so I decided to Google how to calm yourself down, and I found that you can make your heart slow down if it is racing if you blow on your thumb. This works perfectly if you are nervous about a first date, business meeting, or public speaking event.

The nerve that controls your heart rate can be regulated through breathing, so it works to breathe regularly onto your thumb to reduce your heart rate and get it back to normal. Just as an extra tip, if you have brain freeze, which we all know is horribly paralyzing, you can press your tongue against the roof of your mouth to stop this issue. The trick is to press as much of your tongue against the roof of your mouth as you can, which will work to warm the nerves in your mouth and prevent headaches caused by eating cold foods or drinks.
