　　演讲题目: Stress Management  

　　内容介绍：  This presentation will show you simple ways to calm jittery nerves in many kinds of situations. The first kind of situation refers to the stress associated with specific challenges, like taking tests, giving speeches, or giving interviews. Knowing how to calm your mind and body while preparing for those times, enhances the possibility of optimal performance. The second kind of situation refers to generalized low-grade anxiety, on a daily basis. Neurological studies show how such stress is deleterious for your health.   With practice and mindfulness, the techniques advanced in this lecture, can be used in any circumstance to lessen anxiety, calm your mind and bring increasing self-assurance.
