How to Use "the Secret" for Public Speaking

According to Ramki's Guide to Public Speaking, a speech is just an enlarged conversation. Yet many people would rather die than speak in public. If you seek to become a successful speaker, yet are anxious, try "the Secret." Rhonda Byrne popularized this method of using the Law of Attraction to get what you want out of life. Read on and learn how to use positive energy to overcome your speaking fears.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

1. Get a clear picture of what you want. Decide what type of speaking you enjoy most and find out which speakers currently perform such talks. Find pictures or bios of speakers who are living the life you desire and put them in a place where you will see them each day. Such images carry positive energy that will attract your heart's desire.

2. See the end result. Use your imagination and believe you are already a gifted public speaker. Imagine how it would feel to be a famous speaker and hold onto such feelings. See the packed auditoriums, applauding audiences and interactions with people who enjoyed your talks.

3. Spend 10 to 20 minutes each day channeling positive emotions. "The Secret" emphasizes attracting your desires through feelings. Therefore, when you are visualizing, see yourself speaking in front of a large group feeling inspired by the process.

4. Pay attention to how you are feeling in the present moment. If you are feeling anxious over your speaking engagement, shift your focus to pleasant and calm thoughts until you feel relief.

5. Write down several positive affirmations to feel more confident. For example, "I am a calm and confident speaker," or "I will give the audience exactly what they need." Read your list before speaking, to attract positive feelings.

6. Find the things that inspire you and experience them frequently. "The Secret" teaches that when you feel joy, the Universe will attract joyful energy into your life. Go for long walks in nature or listen to inspiring music. Anything that brings you inspiration will increase your attraction to success.
