Few people felt the excitement of various important events in life: the first date, wedding, exams, interviews. Very often, severe excitement is accompanied by dry mouth, chills, abdominal cramps, etc. It is impossible to get rid of excitement by willpower, but there are psychological techniques with which to minimize it.
Instruction manual
one
Direct energy in a different direction. During a strong excitement, a person usually does not find a place for himself - he walks, pulls something, etc. Try to switch your attention - arrange a spring cleaning, exercise on the simulators, play the ball. Physical fatigue and emotions will supplant excitement, and you will feel better.
2
Do a breathing exercise. The first symptoms of excitement are shallow and frequent breathing, a strong heartbeat. Focus on breathing and start taking deep and slow breaths. In a few minutes you will feel that the excitement subsides.
3
Try to play in your head the worst case scenario and let your imagination run wild. For example, you are worried about an interview. Imagine that the employer will not like you, you will not be hired, friends and relatives will turn away from you, you will have nothing to live on, and you will become homeless. What is the likelihood of such a development? The more absurd and incredible a story you come up with, the easier it will be for you to calm down. And when you stop worrying, consider options for your actions in case the interview really fails.
4
Eliminate the causes of excitement. For example, you are worried about an upcoming public appearance. What exactly are you worried about: are you afraid to look stupid, your equipment may fail, are you unsure of your competence? Consider your fears and eliminate their causes: check the operation of the equipment and the necessary equipment, consult your stylist with your image, thoroughly study the material necessary for the performance and be prepared for any tricky issues.
5
Try to relate to failures more easily - falls are necessary for personal and professional growth. They need to be accepted, analyzed and continued to improve.
