Public Speaking

i think i remember you say in another post/thread, about how you also playback the event and nitpick and end up being very critical of yourself, so pethaps its that aswell?

but 500 people... blimey, well done.

This is very true. I’m replaying it at the moment and am sure that when I lay down tonight to sleep, I’ll be doing so for a while. If I let it get on top of me, I’ll probably lose the night, so I’m aiming to do some things to tire myself out a bit more before bed.

good idea, occupy your mind elsewhere or your thoughts will just go round and round in circles

soon as that train of thought starts, it can be hard to stop it, so have to kind of "plough through it"or "snap out of it" which is how i refer to it, or you'll just be stuck in the same repetitive thought pattern

and when you go bed, put some music on low volume and repeat all(instrumental preferably), audiobook, anything that just gives you a focus elsewhere, and creates an external Atmosphere aslong as it doesn't prevent sleep

yeah, just a mild sound, constant, repetitive, just to focus outwardly instead of inwards

Well, I appreciate the suggestion. We all have things that work for us, and perhaps they can work for others too. All we can do is offer what we know and have experienced in the hope that it give someone something to think about.

I have contemplated trying a constant sound, such as a fireplace or rain sounds. I don’t imagine they would trigger too much thought, where as an audiobook could.
