Performance Anxiety – Examinations, Jobs, Interviews etc
At some point in time, all of us have doubted our own abilities and had sleepless nights tossing and turning, thinking about the next day’s exam or interview… despite being well prepared for the task and knowing “deep down” that everything is under control.
For those of you who have school-going children, you may have noticed that your child suddenly develops colds, coughs or even diarrhoea just around the time of an important test or exam. Besides school-related tasks, children also tend to experience the same type of nervousness before a visit to the doctor or dentist. Even for adults, there is the common butterflies-in-the-stomach feeling that precedes a big event.
There are some very effective homeopathic remedies that can help calm your nerves, ease tension and help you in concentrating better on the tasks at hand so that you are able to harness your full potential rather than waste energy fretting and worrying about it.
Some suitable remedies for performance anxiety
Argentum Nitricum 30c – This remedy is very useful for fears and nervousness before a big event such as an interview, performance, speech or exam. The person feels as though time is passing very slowly. The memory becomes weak due to nervousness.
Gelsemium 30c – This remedy is effective for cold, coughs, diarrhoea and other ailments that are due to emotional excitement, such as fear, nervousness or bad news. The person feels weak and may even tremble.
Kali Phos 6x – This is a nerve remedy that is very good for overworked individuals. It is excellent for sleeplessness before the big day.
Lycopodium 30c – The characteristic feature of Lycopodium is a lack of self confidence masked by an exterior of over-confidence. The person will have gastric or digestive disturbances stemming from the nervousness. Little things tend to annoy.
