Hey all I was just wondering does any one have any stratergies on how to overcome nerves? I found when we had our workshops the other day and were doing our assessmnets I felt really nervous and intimindated no fault of any one else just me. I get really worked up and just feel like im going to fail them :( I want to do well and I think im just stressing and putting a bit to much pressure on myself. But any tips to help me overcome the fear and nerves would be good. Thanks heaps guys :)
Hi Manda - it's a real nuisance getting "nerves". After "googling" your concerns for a quick fix answer, I think these tips for conquering anxiety were direct and achievable without getting too caught up with the psycho mumbo jumbo that often compounds the problem.
Hi manda, I know where you are coming from. I have been feeling the same. My only suggestion is to break it down into small chunks when doing your assessments. Regards Jen Campbell
Hi Manda, remember we are there for each other also. Most of us feel the same no matter how brave we seem. Come and have a chat. Sometimes when we share our stress and nerves its not so bad and we can come up with good ideas for remembering things and work through it.
Thanks Jennie and Bek i really appricate the helpfull advice and input :) And yeah Bek as you said we are all in the same boat so have a chat to eachother about it.
