Yesterday, I was at a business meeting. I didn't know that I would have to stand up and speak in front of everybody. Not a large audience, but still. Usually, I suck at public speaking, I would stutter, fumble, feel nervous, etc. Yesterday, nothing like that happened. I just stood up and spoke, feeling calm, I even made jokes. I actually enjoyed it. My posture was nice and confident. I remember thinking:" I should be feeling nervous but I'm not".
Shannon (or anyone else), please can you explain the following: I intellectually knew that I should be feeling nervous. A part of me was trying to be nervous but my brain couldn't remember any reason why I should be scared of public speaking. Right now I can't even think of any valid reason to be scared of public speaking. 2 months ago (before ASC), I would have given 10,000 reasons.
