I love that. I have a mantra I use. And my mantra is, you have value to bring. So I remind myself, because I can get negative. I can get my thought, you know, I'm not prepared. This person I'm talking to is so amazing. I just say, I have value to bring.
There's something that this person has chosen to speak with me, be it on a podcast, be it a student asking me a question, be it somebody I just randomly meet. I have value to bring. And that alone cancels out that negative talk. So that's great. You found a tool for you, which is, it's called positive affirmation. And that seems to work for you. That's great.

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.

Grace is really important in this. I think what helps many people is to realize that they're not alone in this, that lots of people suffer from this. A real quick story. The very first book I wrote was called Speaking Up Without Freaking Out. It's all about how to manage anxiety. I was in San Francisco airport.
