I often hear people say to me you competed and won an Olympic medal in front of one hundred thousand people at the Olympics, so nothing can make you afraid.

The truth is I did have a very difficult time when I stood in front of people to give speeches. My reasons were varied, but that is for another article. For now, I want to focus on the physical manifestations of stage fright.

As I say I did, because it is in my past, but I work on it everyday. When you suffer from any form of anxiety, you often find yourself frustrated with the way your body reacts to very normal mundane events.

Did you know that every time someone stands in front of an audience to speak the human body reacts in a well defined manner? That's right even Oprah. Speaking in public or to an audience activates the adrenal glands, creating an active energy force.

When you think of the adrenal gland you should think of stress. Your heartbeat quickens. Your breathing becomes shallow and more rapid. You feel like you will suffocate. Your muscles tense.

If you are not aware of this response, then when it happens to you it is so overwhelming, that you can begin to sweat, display knocking knees, become very red from embarrassment, lose your memory of your prepared lines, speech, etc.
