Young and Profiting with Hala Taha
Matt Abrahams: Spontaneous Speaking for Entrepreneurs, How to Communicate Confidently On the Spot | Human Behavior | E330

So we have to cool ourselves down. Before I ever speak, before I'm a guest on a show like yours, I will always hold something cold in the palms of my hand. The palms of your hand control the temperature of your body, just like your forehead or the back of your neck. We've done this on a cold morning.

If you've ever held warm tea or coffee in a mug and felt that it warms you up, we're doing the opposite, cooling ourselves down. So there are things you can do, and there are many other things you can do to reduce the symptoms. But we also have to think about sources. Sources are the things that initiate and exacerbate anxiety. In your case, it sounds like you didn't want to look foolish.

One, thank you for being vulnerable and sharing that. A lot of people keep that inside and somebody as successful as you and who comes off as confident as you do, sharing that you get nervous, I think is great for people to hear. We all get nervous. It is the rare person who doesn't in high stakes situations. And also thank you for feeling comfortable with me. That makes me feel really good.

You wanted to look your best being. You wanted to show up as best as you could. That's a lot of pressure you're putting on yourself. So by removing that goal, what's making you nervous in that situation is the goal to come off in the way you want it to come off. A goal is a future state. So what's making you nervous is a potential negative future outcome.

So when it comes to managing anxiety, you really have to take a two-pronged approach. You have to manage both symptoms and sources. Symptoms are what you physiologically feel. You shared some of those. And sources are the things that initiate and exacerbate the anxiety. So allow me to share a little bit on both sides of that. So when you begin to feel nervous, your body is responding to threat.
