Do you ever find yourself on the brink of a major event like a wedding, baby naming, or funeral, only to feel like your mouth has transformed into the Sahara Desert? It’s like your tongue’s been superglued to the roof of your mouth, right? If you’re a celebrant, this scenario might hit close to home. But don’t worry, there’s a nifty little public speaking tip to conquer those nerves and restore moisture to your mouth.
Let’s talk about hacking into our body’s autopilot mode. You know, that pesky fight or flight response that leaves you feeling drier than a desert tumbleweed at the most inconvenient times? Well, guess what? We can totally switch gears.
Think about those moments when you’re feeling most relaxed and juicy. Maybe it’s when you’re indulging in a delicious meal, sharing a passionate kiss, or feeling, shall we say, a little frisky. Let’s tap into that juicy energy.
First things first, get that tongue of yours moving. Imagine you’re savoring the most mouthwatering dish imaginable and give your tongue a workout. Next, let’s kick those salivary glands into action, like you’re gearing up for the kiss of a lifetime. Then, take a beat to swish some refreshing water around in your mouth—let it soak in for a few precious seconds. And if you need an extra boost, don’t hesitate to reach for some mouth lubricant. Trust me, it’s a game-changer.
A few spritzes before showtime and you’ll be good to go.
That’s it—my golden nugget of public speaking wisdom for celebrants.
By following these simple steps, you’re sending a signal to your brain that everything is under control, cool, and collected. Your brain will thank you by dialing down the panic mode, and you’ll breeze through your speech with confidence and ease.
So, let’s keep it juicy, folks. Your brain—and your audience—will be eternally grateful!
