How to Stay Steady When You're Feeling Nervous

Your heart beats faster as another wave of nervous energy washes over you. The flutter in your stomach has become a constant companion, and your mind races with 'what-if' scenarios. Simple workplace interactions now trigger an overwhelming sense of unease.

You're tired of feeling like you're constantly on edge.

Have you recently felt nervous at work?

This persistent nervousness isn't just uncomfortable – it's a sign that your psychological wellbeing needs attention. When nervous feelings become your constant companion, they can affect both your work performance and your peace of mind.

Understanding Psychological Wellbeing

Nervousness is your body's natural response to perceived pressure or uncertainty. While some nervous energy is normal, managing it effectively is crucial for both your professional performance and personal comfort.

When your psychological wellbeing is balanced, you can handle normal workplace pressures with confidence.

However, when nervousness becomes overwhelming, you need strategies to restore your sense of stability.

Why It Matters

Here's why persistent nervousness needs attention:

• It can interfere with your ability to think clearly and make decisions
• It often creates physical symptoms that affect your comfort and performance
• It may prevent you from engaging fully in workplace opportunities

But you don't have to let nervous feelings control your day. There are ways to find steadiness amid uncertainty.

Taking Action

1. Ground Yourself

Practice simple grounding techniques like deep breathing or feeling your feet firmly on the floor when nervousness rises.

2. Challenge Thoughts

Question and reframe anxious thoughts, looking for realistic perspectives rather than worst-case scenarios.

3. Build Routine

Create predictable patterns in your workday that provide a sense of stability and control.
