That's how we deal with stress. We got to learn to laugh. laughter is one of the best things to do to deal with stress. But how do you do this? When you're about to deliver a speech? Well, what I actually do is I go spend some time in front of the mirror, I mean mirror at the venue.

I will go to the bathroom, and find a mirror and spend some time talking to me, looking at me, motivating me and I just always end up loving. I just laugh and laugh and laugh. It's actually beyond that. For what I suggest. If you have an emotional tank and emotional tank is something that delivers emotions, and I do that in training, where I teach you how to keep your emotional tank full and what happens, but if you have a empty emotional tank, when you're going to go do a speech, you got nothing to give. And you will become extremely stressed on the day.

So I will spend the morning before a speech, the day before the speech if it's in the morning, and I will go do things that will fill me emotionally as a person I will go spend time with friends and with people I will keep away from negative people are will keep away from negative things. And I will definitely limit my input. I don't watch movies that are not beneficial to me. I don't listen to the news. I don't read the newspapers, I don't allow anything to come across my lines or my path. That's going to change my mindset.

It needs to keep me in the moment. Now. Another thing that helps us deal with stress which is also very important. is you need to know your stuff. One of the most calming effects and liberating effects for stress is to know your stuff when you know your stuff that you know that you know that you know your stuff really well just eliminate a lot of problems on the day itself. And then also, what I would do on the day and this is I suggest, is take a friend.

Yeah, take a friend, take a friend and put them in the audience. If I don't have a friend in the audience, I will think of a friend I will picture my favorite friend or my wife or my son or my daughter, and it's actually quite crazy is if it's a daughter audience, she would be secretly in the audience some way I will picture her sitting somewhere, and I'm going to talk to her. If it's an audience that's going to relate to my son, then I'm going to speak to my son and then to my wife. I always take a friend with me. What we do sometimes on radio is we'll take photographs of different people. and stick them around the studio going.

That's my audience. That's who I'm actually speaking to. Sometimes you will get people in the audience that just nodded everything you say. And I like to do that if I'm in your audience as a public speaker, knowing what you're going through. on that stage, I'm going to give you all the attention you need, I'm gonna focus, when you say points that I feel that you need a response to, I'm gonna nod my head, I'll even write it down even though I don't want to write it down or don't need to. I'm writing it down so you can see me writing it down, so that you feel comfortable within the audience.

So for me, that's how you're going to deal with your stress is spent a lot of time before the actual speech itself. Getting yourself focused and filling your tank emotionally doing things that fill you emotionally. Then before you actually go up, laugh, find somehow to laugh, and then also that friend, either you're going to have them they hypothetically or you're physically going to invite a friend in the audience. If you feel all alone you in a different place. In a different space, go spend some time with your audience before the event connect with somebody. So when they're sitting in the audience, you've at least made a friend and that will help you deal with the stress.

So don't get stressed. just laugh a little till next time. The power of these dream brings you here is man, Sean, Colorado.
