hands and brow sweating
hyperventilating
heart pounding
mind racing
hands shaking
wait!
close your eyes
inhale, hold, exhale
inhale, hold, exhale
clench your fists, release
clench your fists, release
take a sip of water
take a sip of water
open your eyes
straighten your posture
and begin speaking
you got this!
I believe in you!
just persevere
