Here’s how you can handle ‘communication anxiety’

Matt began by explaining the kind of effect that social anxiety can have on your well-being, and what measures can be taken to lessen it. He said, “We have to first address the symptoms as well as the sources. The symptoms have to do with what goes on in our body, physiologically, and what goes on in our mind psychologically. And sources are things that actually make our anxiety worse.”

He discussed the common symptoms that accompany increasing anxiety – perspiration, shaking, increased heart rate etc., and suggested ways in which you can overcome it.

*Take a deep breath before you start. “The kind of breath you would do if you’re doing yoga or Tai Chi or Qi Gong; that’ll calm you down,” he said.

*”If you shake, gesture broadly. Big broad gestures. They can really help that adrenaline go somewhere.”

*If you perspire or blush, hold something cold in the palm of your hand, it’ll cool you down.
