Sometimes it can be caused due to your habits but even then, it’s mental. Let’s examine why being
nervous can cause you to perform poorly and why it’s something good to be nervous.

There are many situations that can cause a person to feel nervous. It can be a situation where you are about to make a speech. It can be one where you are about to ask an attractive person out on a date. It can even be a situation where you are about to take an exam. All of these things can bring out that feeling of anxiety. It can cause you to stumble on your words.

It may seem like a bad thing but realize that this feeling that you experience is your body’s way of telling you something. Do you think athletes get nervous before a game? How about professional speakers who are about to go out on stage for the 1,000th time? Nervousness is a signal to your mind that you need to get ready. It can sometimes be mixed with the feeling of excitement as well.

yourself.

If you want to do a good job, be prepared and practice as much as you can. From there, picture the best outcomes in your mind.
