I am Excited..

To reduce the anxiety of public speaking, I read

Try reframing anxiety as excitement instead..

Though anxiety may be expected, it makes us lose

A sense of control over our actions, but if we choose

To think we are excited, it gives us a sense of agency

More under our control the situation appears to be

Next time I am shivering in my shoes and slick with perspiration

I shall trick myself into feeling excited about the situation

Hopefully I would speak with more confidence

And be successful in engaging my audience
