Just because you have to deal with stage fright does not mean that you have to be a bad speaker. I don’t know anyone that does not have a difficult time speaking in front of an audience to one degree or another. In fact, a healthy amount of fear while giving a speech will help you to be a better speaker. So you have a choice to make, you can either fall apart because you are afraid to speak in front of an audience or you can use your fear to help you to be the best speaker possible. Here are some typical problems that many new speakers face that can make you a bad speaker and can easily be overcome with a little practice.

Some people that have anxieties tend to take their problems to the opposite extreme. For example, if somebody is dealing with stage fright they may overcompensate by becoming overly relaxed. This will not come across as you being relaxed and poised to your audience. What it will do, however, is to make you a poor speaker. One classic example of this is that many new speakers that are nervous will overcompensate for their nervousness by leaning on the podium or becoming overly familiar with a strange audience. It is necessary to maintain your composure by standing up tall when you’re speaking and to build a relationship with your audience during the course of your presentation. Do not allow your nervousness to make you seem arrogant.

Another problem that many people have is that they let their nervousness show up by using unnatural body inflections. I once heard a talk that was given by somebody that was supposed to be experienced yet the entire time that they were speaking they were jingling their keys in their pocket. This was not only distracting but it also showed that the person was nervous and was difficult to concentrate on the information that they were trying to convey. Nervousness can also show up in over gesturing or facial tics. One of the best ways to pick up on this kind of a problem is to have somebody videotape you giving the presentation in front of a group of trusted friends. You can then watch yourself for any body movements that come across as being unnatural.

The most important thing in dealing with stage fright is that you do not allow your audience to know that you are nervous. Many speakers will feed off of the emotions of their audience and if they are able to control the situation they’re stage fright will disappear quickly after they began their presentation. This is something that is very important to remember because if you are dealing with severe stage fright you need to handle yourself correctly from the beginning in order to overcome it. Once you realize that you are in control of the situation it will be much easier for you to relax and to go through your information in a logical and comfortable manner.

Whoever said that learning the German language has to be boring, blunt and completely dry? If you have always given this kind of thought towards learning German, you must have not been too resourceful enough in researching for German materials that gives not only your needed information but an equivalent fun to how learning should be.

Before, learning languages of the world can only be done inside a four-cornered classroom with the help of a teacher. Books are the main source of information and if not, activities and trips towards the library for German-related research are done as well. But these days are long gone, although it is still the basic learning pattern for students who are still learning German (or any other language) at school.

Nowadays, learning a foreign language is taken to a whole new different level. There are so many options as well as to how an individual can benefit from learning straight from a course or an immersion program and now, even a home-based language learning can be done without any supervision. You are completely on your own. Also, a lot of free write-ups and contribution about the “how-to’s” of learning the German language is distributed throughout the Internet.

When it comes to audio materials for pronunciation purposes, these are provided and can be found online. Sometimes, if you just spend extra of your time in finding German materials for language learning, audio files are provided by some websites for free. This way, you never have to pay for something which you think you would not be using too long. Either way, you will be needing audio files for German pronunciation in a long term basis, for sure.

Okay, so back to the boring classroom lessons. You really don’t need to be caught up in this type of scenario. If you want to spice up your German lessons, look for German grammar, vocabulary or word games which can all be found online. The best thing about these learning materials is that you can learn while you play games and eventually, assess your knowledge by using the same material.

Getting healthier, getting happier, getting rid of chronic illness and how to be rich…
how to have a better life and how to be more satisfied. We have this innate ability to manifest whatever it is that we need to have.

Whether it’s anyone of the things above or whatever your own spin might be on it. It’s right there. It says something about the person themselves when you ask that type of question. It says that you are tired of the way things are and that you want something better. You recognize the fact that you are not living up to your full potential

So know that at least, number 1, you are on the right track if you have asked such a question. YAY…the rest is easy! (I know, you’re saying, “riiiight”)

So with all of these things, keep in mind that these are not the real problems. They are just symptoms of the bigger issue. What we want to do is get down to the core of what is really going on. What is it that is truly holding you back.

There is a short and long answer as to what it is that is at the core of all these other feelings…no, it’s not money! Although that is what a lot of us think. “If only I had this amount of money”, or “If only this job would come through”, or “if only….” And I have to tell you in my experience, your going to “if only” your life away.

What it comes down to is to simplify these things. I think we get into our heads and we make our minds the decision maker in our lives. We buy so much into conformity and what everybody else is doing that it makes it tough to find our own way to health and happiness.

So a lot of times when you look around and you look into your relationships and your look into your financial situation and you gaze at all of these areas in your life and if they are not working you need to reverse the direction of your focus if you will, to the inside not the outside.

Everything is a mirror reflection of what it is that is going on inside of you. That includes the people in your life and how they behave. It’s said that if there is someone in your life that you really resent or that you have a great amount of resistance to, that it is to the same degree that you have that within you. Now you can look the world and blame the reflection all you want, but it is not going to change until you take responsibility for what is happening.

And so what that does for us it allows us to get really focused and say, “So what is happening to me is a creation of my own thoughts and actions.” Your thoughts, your belief system, your attitude towards how you approach things.

What story have you been telling yourself about the reality of your life?

That’s what it all boils down to.

Let’s take a look at some of the things that might be holding you back from that inner reflection.

I can tell you that they are things that only 6.7 billion people on the planet have faced.
Lack of self confidence, lack of self esteem and self love. Self love being one of the strongest.

If you don’t love yourself or even like yourself then you will not be able to manifest the things in life that are good for you or even beneficial to you. If you are thinking that you don’t deserve or you are not worthy, then how could you possibly benefit yourself with all that the universe has to offer?

The place that I started from was to really pay attention to my thoughts. Whatever it is that you put out there, Whatever it is that you are thinking, start to really take a look and say, “How is this affecting me?” is this really the most healthy and best thing that I could be thinking just now?”

Another way you can see what is happening on the inside is to look at who you are surrounding yourself with. Both situations and people. If you have happy, loving and supportive people in your life then you are doing great.

Unfortunately, there are some out there that don’t have the support that they need to be everything they are.

Notice I say, everything they are, and not “what they could be.”

That is one of the other keys. You are already a great soul light. There is absolutely nothing to “get” and nothing to “be’ I believe that we just squash that inside ourselves again because of the various reasons listed above.

Just start saying to yourself, “What am I thinking?” “What am I reflecting?” and that should alter your perception greatly. Will this take care of everything in your life?…Well, maybe not that alone but remember, that even then greatest journey begins with just one step.
