Anxiety means feeling worried about something, and it might cause a rapid heartbeat. For further, this topic will discuss how to manage it in public speaking. First, it will be better to share anxiety with others. It can be shared with friends, maybe with some therapists, or listing our feelings to get over them. Moreover, visualization is the second important tip which is thinking and imagining  successfully before the day of speaking or presentation day. That could help the speaker to have a good imagination of her/himself. Finding a friendly face helps you to be more confident and less anxious, because you will be more confident talking to a friend than a stranger. ]]> 2023-04-11 08:22:58 UTC https://padlet.com/jjacobo9/12h7wwm5z1u3f7fs/wish/2549876746 Be confident: https://padlet.com/jjacobo9/12h7wwm5z1u3f7fs/wish/2550449284 I do agree with what is stated.
