  Meditate for a few minutes each day. Meditation leads to deep levels of relaxation. It clears your mind of all the worries and insecurities you may have about yourself. Physical benefits include an increase in serotonin, an increase in blood flow, a slower heart rate and a decrease in muscle tension.

  Undergo hypnosis. Nervousness is caused by thought patterns associated with doubt and distrust, and hypnosis can re-align your mentality. During a hypnosis session, you most likely will be led to a deep state of relaxation and will be approached to deal with deep issues from your past. The goal of hypnosis is to resolve blockages that may be detrimental to your belief system.

  Focus on positivity. Think positive thoughts rather than expending your energy on negative thoughts. Practice seeing the best in your environment and in people. Most importantly, focus on your own attributes. Affirm the idea that you are able to work through situations in a comfortable manner and that being nervous is not a factor.
