Nervousness: 5 interesting ways to deal with it?

Nervousness is an everyday feeling caused by your body’s stress response. It normally involves a sequence of hormonal and physiological responses that aid in preparing yourself to handle an apparent or an expected danger.

Generally, the body prepares us for the fight against threats by boosting adrenaline production. Therefore, your heart begins to beat faster instantly, your blood pressure rises, and your breathing quickens. In addition, this condition also increases your energy and alertness.

This also causes anxiety in many people.

Some people are badly affected by Nervousness as it often leads them to use “powerless” language to make their personal decisions. This kind of language is effectively the opposite of being clear, articulate, and succinct. It can prove to be quite dangerous for our self-image and public image. People might begin to question our confidence in ourselves, and may doubt our leadership qualities. In addition, they also start to doubt our message.

Nervousness affects children and teenagers more than anyone else. According to a study carried out by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 7.1 % of children aged 3 to 17 have been diagnosed with anxiety. They got symptoms like an upset stomach, anxiety, trouble concentrating, or sleeplessness. These signs are creating enormous challenges for students in classrooms.

Therefore, parents and teachers alike want to solve these issues urgently. Let’s talk about some effective solutions for these problems

Choose courage over  the confidence

Choosing courage is quite easy for an average person rather than building confidence from the scratch. People feel down and nervous when they think that they don’t have confidence in a particular thing. People going through a bad patch should show some courage and make the right move at the right moment.  “Yes, I’m a little afraid. Yes, I’m nervous. But I’m doing it anyway!” This proactive step in choosing courage can lead to a positive psychophysiological response and enable us to “show up” better.

Breathe your way through it

Nervousness causes to take rapid and shallow breaths coming directly from the chest. This type of breathing is called thoracic or chest breathing and it causes an upset in the oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in the body. In addition to that, it also results in increased dizziness, heart rate, muscle tension, and other physical sensations. Moreover, this blood is not being properly oxygenated and this might signal a stress response that contributes to anxiety and panic attacks.

Experts believe that deep breathing is an amazing way to tackle the problem of nervousness. As it stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system that is an important component of the peripheral nervous system.

The peripheral nervous system is responsible for regulating heartbeat, breathing, blood flow, and digestion. Deep breathing aids you to avoid the “fight-or-flight” response (acute stress response) to mentally or physically frightening situations.
