Is it possible to end those intractable public speaking fears in the short time of 1.5 hours or less? Indeed!

All public speaking fears, indeed all fears, are based on unconsciously held beliefs that have been conditioned in you through your early life experience.

What do I mean by “conditioned”? Well this means that past experiences have become “imprinted” in your nervous system as automatic behaviors, emotional responses and perceptions about yourself, others and your immediate environment.

These imprints can now be completely erased from your nervous system just the same way that you might erase a file from your computer hard drive.

What I call the Mind Resonance Process(TM) (MRP) has the capacity to uncover and erase negative limiting beliefs, perceptions, emotions and memories that are at the root of all public speaking fears.

Although some may tell you that there are many beliefs that contribute to this problem they are in fact all rooted in one basic fear, the fear that you won’t survive if something goes wrong.

Another way of saying this is that you believe that you will simply fall apart if anything untoward happens. If you look deep enough into your fear you’ll see that this is what you are trying to protect yourself from. All other fears or negative beliefs simply feed into or reinforce this basic and limiting one.

MRP can help you release this in as little as 1 session on the telephone. The process is quick, accessible to almost everyone and painless.

The net effect will leave you feeling rejuvenated, like a weight has been taken off your shoulders, lighter, more energized, more confident, more focused, more joyful, healthier and more resilient, and much more.

What’s more MRP will give you an experience that will help you begin to unleash even deeper creative and intuitive abilities that you never even knew you had.

You see, deep within each of us is a very powerful Being. That power is fueled or driven by the passion for life that lives in the Human Heart. That’s what MRP helps you to unleash.

For many people the idea of speaking in public can be absolutely terrifying! And sociologists report that the fear of public speaking ranks even higher than the fear of death. Not to worry. Here are 12 surefire strategies to eliminate stage fright and the fear of public speaking.

1. Give up the idea of perfection ~ Most seasoned public speaking professionals will admit that mistakes have provided the largest opportunities for growth. So acknowledge your humanity and have the courage to be imperfect.

2. Replace disempowering beliefs with positive action ~ The famous American athlete Bob Richards said, “You are what you think. You are what you go for. You are what you do!” If you think you are incapable, you will be. Give yourself permission to take action even if you risk failure. When Bob Richards knocked down poles while vaulting his way to 1 bronze and 2 gold medals in 3 consecutive Olympics he didn’t focus on the setbacks, he focused on going for gold and doing his best.

3. Know your topic and audience ~ Doing your homework and research will eliminate 75-80% of your fears. Most people are horrifically under-prepared when they get up to speak. Invest in your preparation and you will be richly rewarded.

4. Arm yourself with a relevant and expert presentation ~ Think of the absolute worst questions that you could ever be asked. Be prepared with answers to those questions and you will dramatically reduce mental stress and performance anxiety.

5. Practice aloud (even if it’s a 30 second introduction) ~ Most people make time to prepare a physical presentation or notes but don’t venture to practice out loud. When you put the presentation on its feet first, without an audience, you will naturally find yourself changing, refining and improving your content. Practice your entire presentation a bare minimum of 3 times before you speak to a group. The more you practice, the more you will boost your confidence.

6. Always warm up ~ Warming up your body and voice at the beginning of an important day or right before a presentation will release tension, open you up, and allow your natural expression to flow. A mere 5 minutes of stretching and 3 minutes of singing (even if it’s in the shower) will make you much more at ease.

7. Arrive early ~ One of the simplest things you can do to be calm and collected is to arrive very early. This gives you plenty of time to check and test equipment, get familiar with the environment, freshen up and mingle with your audience beforehand.

8. Visualize success while focusing on your breathing ~ If you feel your heart palpitating, simply focus on breathing deeply imagining yourself filling up with love on the inhale, and on the exhale, let go of any tension or stress. Then visualize being victorious just like an athlete prepares to win a competition. Breathe through the anxiety to channel nervous energy into excitement and enthusiasm.

9. Don’t worry about what others are thinking ~ Remember people want you to be good. 99 times out of 100, audiences are on your side. If you start to feel yourself getting uneasy, make eye contact with the friendly faces in the audience for encouragement. Also an audience focused intention like ” to be of service” or “to deliver extraordinary value” will help to alleviate angst because it gets the focus off you and onto others.

10. Hold microphones with your non-dominant hand ~ If you are given a microphone, hold it with your non-dominant hand so that you can gesture freely with the hand you normally write with. This will make you feel more comfortable physically.

11. Join Toastmaster’s, a speaking association, presentation skills training or acting class ~ These types of organizations can teach you very important skills affording you the opportunity to practice in a supportive environment with like-minded people. If you don’t have the resources available to you, run your presentations by several family members, friends or colleagues you trust for constructive feedback.

12. Hire a presentation skills trainer or public speaking coach ~ If you have a very important presentation coming up or if your livelihood is connected at all to your communication or persuasion skills, get a professional coach. Top athletes would never enter a competition without the support of the best coach they can find. Engaging a specialist will put your performance on the fast track and ensure that you have a winning edge over your competitors.

Take action today with just 1 of these tips to reduce your fear of public speaking. Take action with all 12 surefire strategies and you can bet on overcoming your fear of public speaking forever!

Algebra is one of the main arms of maths which studies structure, relation and quantity. Numbers, symbols, elements, and variables are all within the domain of algebra. Students are presented fundamental concepts and methodologies of solving equations in elementary algebra like solving radical systems of equations, understanding polynomials along with factoring binomials, trinomials and polynomials as well as the determination of their roots.
Linear equations are the easiest to solve. An extension of linear equations leads to the simultaneous equations with two or three variables. As we progress further in the sequence to quadratic, bi-quadratic and cubic equations, they are more complex in nature and harder to solve.

The Origin of Algebra

Everyone who is keen on learning algebra requires to go through primary algebra as it lays the foundation for intermediate or college algebra. In addition to mathematical expressions, it also contains of all kinds of equations like linear, quadratic and cubic. All geometric shapes such as circle, hyperbola, and parabola can be represented as equations.
The equations can be solved to generate a graph. Lines are the product of graphing simple linear equations. It is quite easy to solve systems of equations when presented graphically. Two or more equations with the same number of variables are usually identified as a system of equations. It can be both linear and non-linear. Systems of equations with inequalities (example; x>y) when graphed creates an region on the graph which matches the inequality condition.

Matrices help find solution to a set of complex problems like the ones existing in electrical networks. A matrix is a rectangular range of numbers presented in rows and columns. The numbers in a matrix are known as entries. Different operations like addition, multiplication and decomposition can be performed on matrices thereby providing real solutions for theoretical questions.

When it comes to promoting yourself, there is no better way to pull it off than writing articles. By submitting well-written, informative articles to online publishers, you will become an authority figure in the industry and be regarded as the one to go to. When you submit articles to online publishers, most will offer you the chance to include a short bio, as well as a link to your website. Article promotion is free advertising for you and is a great way to promote your website.

The term “free” is not often used in the advertising world of today. Many individuals and companies spend thousands of dollars each year to get their name out and try, with all their spent dollars, to bring in new clients and new visitors to their site. The fact is you don’t have to spend a penny when you submit your articles to online publishers and your website and your name will be available for all visitors to see.

The wonderful thing about article promotion is that some of the publishers allow their visitors to copy the articles and place them on other websites. They do, however, have to leave the article as is, as well as make sure the author’s name and information is attached. A way to make sure that your website is attached to the article is to include a resource box along with it and make sure your link is part of it whenever you partake of article promotion opportunities. What this means is that your article with all your information can spread all over the internet, that is if you make sure your link is used when use article promotion opportunities.

For example, if you submit 10 articles to 10 different sites, it gives you the opportunity for 100 links back to your site. But what happens when a quarter of those articles are put on 10 more sites? That’s right. You’ve more than doubled the links back to your site. Before you even realize it, you could have as many as a thousand or more links to your site.

What happens when someone is looking up information on a subject and they keep coming across information that is written by you? Instantly, you are regarded as an authority on the subject at hand. This is a major benefit derived from article promotion. The one thing that will most likely happen is that you will get a visitor to your website as they browse for more information. The fact is, by submitting informative articles that are well written and give the reader something they need; you will become an individual well-known in your particular subject. By submitting your articles to online publishers, you will find yourself in the spotlight from time to time.

To get your articles noticed on the web, you can also make sure you use keyword optimization in your articles whenever you partake in article promotion opportunities. This is great for the search engines, allowing your articles to be found quicker, therefore, bringing in more visitors to your site.

Syndicating your articles is another way to get your articles to as many sites as possible. This simply makes it much easier for website owners to put content on their websites. Because it is very easy to do, it will save a lot of time for the site owner and it’s a great situation for you as you no longer have to worry about marketing each of your articles individually.

When you get started, you’ll simply include a link on your article to allow them to publish this, as well as any other articles you currently have available for syndication. Within days, your article can be viewed on hundreds of websites and you didn’t really have to do anything but add the link to your content. Again, free advertising at its best!

If you would like to get your name and website advertised and bring in new visitors to your site, take advantage of the opportunity for free advertising by submitting well-written, informative articles. You’ll be surprised by the amount of visitors you will get to your site!

Technology vendors often contribute bylined articles to trade journals. The articles are great exposure for these companies but they don’t come cheap – the trades rarely pay for these articles but the vendors spend time and resources to assign pieces, write them, approve them and submit them. Your PR agency can help your clients leverage their investment by wringing top value out of these articles. Here are some possibilities:

1. Reprints
2. White papers
3. Product briefs
4. Booklets
5. Speech outline and handouts

Reprints

It’s pretty galling to contribute a byline to a publication, only to turn around and spend major bucks for reprint rights. But reprints are good things: they significantly increase your client’s exposure to the market. Make sure you use the reprints anywhere you can, including press kits, presentation handouts and conference take-aways. Post them on your site too. Even if you haven’t paid for electronic rights you can probably link to the publication’s URL, assuming they’ve posted your article online. (It doesn’t hurt to ask.) If you’ve got digital reprint rights and are posting the article on your client’s site, avoid using a scanned hard copy of the printed article – the resolution is poor and not very readable. Create a .PDF file and use that for posting and downloading.

White Paper

Please don’t use the published article as is for a white paper — even if you retain all rights it’s shamelessly self-plagiarizing, and if the publication retains all rights it’s rather criminal. However, you can use the article text to form the technology section of a white paper. Edit for length as necessary and re-work the text to emphasize your client’s product and technology take. Then add white paper elements like a beginning executive summary and a problem statement. Follow these with your technology section, and then add details on how your client’s product will solve the problem, a customer case study, and a conclusion on how great the product is. (You can always switch the order by writing a white paper first, then editing the technology section into a bylined trade journal article.)

Product Briefs

The article can serve as a great basis for expanded product briefs – say the front and back of an 8-1/2×11, or a longer technical brochure. Edit the article for length and jazz up the text, and you’ve got a solid technology basis for the marketing document. (Good marcom can explain what a NAS gateway is, but not by yammering about “enterprise-wide intelligent data management portals.” Puts readers right to sleep.)

Booklets

One of the best press kits I ever saw included a sharp and informative booklet on the vendor’s technology. The booklet explained the general technology’s development and background, presented the vendor’s product, and listed clear customer advantages. It impressed both journalists and customers in a way a press release or even a white paper wouldn’t have done. Booklets are labor-intensive, so use your trade journal article as the basis for writing your own.

Speech Outline and Handouts

Use existing articles as the basis for client speeches and presentations. Since trade journal articles are usually vendor-neutral, they’ll work as-is for similar talks. When the presentation is about a product you can still use the article outline for the background technology and analysis then add product details, customer case studies, and Q&A’s. You can use article reprints as a handout, or turn the outline into speaker’s notes and use that instead.

If your client gulps at the cost of developing a trade journal article, don’t leave them gasping for breath – list all the ways they can leverage it to increase market exposure and profits.

All of us have suffered from it at one time or another, the dreaded word “burnout.” We often think, “Oh, I’ll just power through this.” Or “I’ve got a deadline to meet I can’t possibly stop now, I won’t get this project done on time.” I used to be one of these myself. We often find that as burnout sneaks up on us, we become even more frantic to meet the deadline, complete just one more chapter, or write one more article. However, what we don’t realize is that we’ve been going at breakneck speed for days, weeks, sometimes even months and years. At no point have we given ourselves the opportunity to breathe, relax, think about other things for a moment, or spend time with our friends and family. This is a not a good thing, and it can quickly lead to more serious health problems than burnout, such as depression, anxiety, even panic attacks.

So, what can you do as a freelance writer to prevent or at the very least minimize burnout, and other stress related health problems? Here are some ideas:

1. Take short breaks of 15 minutes after every two or three hours of writing.

2. Take an hour lunch break.

3. Decide ahead of time what is a reasonable amount of time to work on your projects per day and stick to it. When you get to the time that you’ve determined is the end of your day, then turn your computer off, and clean up your desk just as if it were the end of the day at a real job.

4. Have an exercise plan in place and make sure you stay with it. If you don’t already have one in place, begin one. Yoga is a wonderful way to get exercise, tone your muscles and de-stress. I highly recommend it.

5. Make a point of eating a healthy diet.

6. Make time for the things you enjoy both by yourself and with others.

7. Learn to meditate and take short meditation breaks throughout your day, or one longer one.

8. Take a walk, breathe fresh air, and take in the images of what is around you. This is also a good way to get ideas for what to write about.

Ultimately the idea is to make sure you make time to relax, unwind, and de-stress. The benefits are many including ideas for what to write about, increased well being, fewer illnesses, and a healthier happier you.

When I started to submit articles in this website (ezineartcles dot com) 2 weeks ago, I did not have any high expectations from this website. I was happy to submit my articles at a website which is regularly visited by a lot of people like me. When I posted a question in a writing forum about submitting my articles, I got a discouraging response from a fellow forum member. I was told that this kind of website will not contribute in increasing my earning potential as a freelance writer. I was also told that when I submit my writing to a paying market, if I mention that I have published articles in this website it would not go well to my credentials.

Thus naturally, I felt some discouraged and was hesitating whether to continue submitting articles or not. However, after just two weeks, I feel that submitting articles at this website is the smartest move that I have done so far in my pursuit of becoming a freelance writer. In this article, I am going to state the benefits I have got in the last two weeks from submitting articles in this website.

The first significant benefit that I have got is in search engine ranking. If you search my name (Razib Ahmed) in Google you can find this in the first position -Razib Ahmed – EzineArticles.com Expert Author. Razib Ahmed is not a very uncommon name in South Asia and in Google you will find that there are many people with my name present in the world of Internet. How would you feel to see that you are in the first position in Google’s ranking with your name? With one of my articles keyword, I found my ranking in Google in the third position. With all the keywords and article titles, I found astonishing rankings in Google. For example, for the search “writing a good article” (with the quote mark), I found my article in this website in the first position in Google search. Whether you are a writer, web developer, businessman or professional, being in the first page of Google search is really like a dream come true. Thanks ezinearticles dot com, I am there within just 2 weeks.

The next benefit that I like to mention is the fact that my articles have received more than 550 hits in just 10-11 days. You may wonder why I am giving importance to this matter since I am not getting any money. It is so important to me because of the fact that every day more than 50 persons are reading my articles. The average figure is increasing everyday as I have more and more articles in my name. I do not know about others but nothing can be happier for me than the fact that my articles are being read by people from around the world. Today, I found in a newsletter of another website that now around 1 millions visitors come to ezinearticles dot com daily. Many of the readers of this website are web masters who are in search of free contents that they can use in their own websites. So, naturally my potential of getting offers of paid writing is increasing everyday.

In just 2 weeks my articles have been published in more than 10 other websites. This means more exposure for me and getting a greater readership for my writing. However, the best thing that has happened to me is that my blog has got more hits after I joined ezinearticles dot com. Moreover, the ranking of my blog has increased substantially too in the search engine. Those of us who have very basic ideas about Internet can easily understand the value of more hits for our website.

I am trying to become a freelance writer from a third world country and I cannot afford to pay money for promotions of my blog and in my country online transaction is yet to come. Ezinearticles dot com has provided me the best scope for carrying out my promotions and the best side is that it is at free of cost. Before joining this website, promoting myself was my biggest challenge and it was a real obstacle for a young writer like me. I can easily say now that this obstacle has been removed in the easiest way without any expense.

When was the last time that you were given an urgent assignment to come up with a memo, research report, speech or presentation for your boss? You know, the ones that were needed yesterday? Naturally, things seem to always appear out of the blue, and especially when you least expect them. Needless to say, most of the time they’d think that since you are hard-working and smart, you are the one that should be doing it, while you have very faint idea of what it is they want you to write about. But deep down inside, you know that this sort of admiration from you colleagues (and boss) has its merits, so you are going to write this one right …again …somehow.

Remember college? All those essays and term papers that were thrown at you as if you had a mortal feud with the professor who was set on burying you in the paperwork for the rest of the semester? In my extensive experience writing college model on very short notices, I can attest that nothing motivates person to get the writing done than the awe of the unforgiving deadline. But alas, there are very specific steps that you can take to amp-up your productivity and squish those creative juices.

Immediately after you’ve been given the task, begin analyzing it and considering the ways it could be done. Common error is to think that you should start working on the task after you begin research to collect more information or have a good rest to reenergize. Most of the times, these are mere excuses for procrastination.
The earlier you start actively thinking about the ways to accomplish the assignment, the more time your brain will have to digest and sort out all ideas. You see, it could not be that you don’t have your personal opinion on virtually any subject or idea under the sun. Thinking those through will create a mental framework, a plan, that you will later follow during the real research.
And you don’t need choke your brain either. The key is timing: if you start early you then can let you subconsciousness do all the dirty work for you. It’s true! You know how the best ideas come during sleep? That’s your subsconsciousness at work. You can benefit from the same mind mechanics by pushing your mind first and then letting it go to find the solutions on its own.

By the time you actually get to writing, you will have at least a vague plan of what you are going to write about. Think of a plan as your helper in structuring your thoughts and ideas. Productivity-wise, the plan can save you hours of work. Instead of wondering about the different ideas that you will encounter during your research, you will write according to the roadmap you have created and will be able proceed much faster.

Once you actually place your fingers on the keyboard you should start typing all ideas and associations that come to mind inspired by your plan and previous research. The psychological trick here is to focus on speed and rhythm of writing. Don’t think twice (well, do, but don’t drool over it) about the idea that just popped up. Write it down and develop it. It is much easier and faster to edit out those paragraphs that you don’t need.

When you finished developing your presentation, research report, or essay body, you should have about half to twice as much text than if you were writing it in your usual way. The easy task now is to go through what you have written, see if it fits the overall theme and edit or rearrange the text blocks as necessary. You may end up throwing away as much as one third of your work, but, believe me, in the long run, it’s worth it.

After all the meat and potatoes are ready, you can add some gravy. Make your conclusion sum up what you have written and underline how it all fits coherently into single theme. Try to make your conclusion leave a pleasant, yet strong, aftertaste.

With the five steps above, you will never sweat before another deadline. Break your task into manageable units by starting early, let your thoughts settle a bit into a more or less consistent flow, write everything you know, then edit and rearrange. Several hours of intense work will give you the writing you (and your boss) will be proud of.
