Physical Anxiety Management
Specific techniques to control shaking, sweating, and nervous energy before speaking.
What it is
Before & after
“Ignoring symptoms: Trying to push through visible shaking, rapid speech, and sweating without addressing the physical causes.”
“Managing proactively: "I'll do 5 minutes of deep breathing, some shoulder rolls, and power poses before this board presentation."”
When you’ll use it
High-stakes presentations: Use progressive muscle relaxation 30 minutes before presenting to executives or investors
Job interviews: Practice box breathing in the waiting room to reduce visible trembling and voice shakiness
Conference speaking: Use power posing backstage to increase confidence hormones and reduce stress hormones
Virtual presentations: Use grounding techniques (feel feet on floor) to manage anxiety when speaking to camera instead of live audience
Pro tip
Channel nervous energy into purposeful movement rather than suppressing it.
