Taking Affirmative Action in Using Affirmatives to Overcome Glossophobia

Now you are ready to take affirmative action to overcome Glossophobia. Affirmations are positive actions that help you to overcome fears, doubt or other negative emotions that rob you of your success. Affirmations are powerful words that we speak to ourselves. Because we use affirmations to overcome negative thinking and build confidence by replacing those negative thoughts with positive thoughts, we can use this newfound skill to overcome Glossophobia.

Using affirmatives

Each day before you use affirmations you should practice your guided-relaxation techniques to help you relax. Some people who are just getting started on using affirmatives feel uneasy at first. After you become acquainted with the technique it will become easier for you to use it.

How to use affirmations

Affirmations are positive and influential words that we use to persuade the mind to think optimistically, such as an audience at a public speech. When the mind starts to think negative and says “I cannot finish this task,” you use affirmations to declare that you can complete the task. For example, “I am intelligent and ready to rock the world” or “I am smart and can accomplish anything I put my mind to”. The more you use affirmations to convince your mind to think differently, the easier it will become for you to overcome Glossophobia.

Practice

Now, consider the points that you have written in your worksheet. Those points are critical to overcome Glossophobia, otherwise you would have overlooked them or they would have fallen into your unconscious mind. Examine the points closely and write down your feelings, thoughts, etc. Create a list of goals to help you combat those critical points that hinder you from talking in front of people in public places. Notice any points of concern that link to your condition. Use affirmatives when you feel uneasy or lack confidence in your ability to achieve your goals.
