Breathe deeply and often.
Explanation
Remind yourself that the audience wants you to succeed, and reframe nervousness as excitement about giving the speech. Slow, deep breathing can also help calm your body. Staying up late can leave you tired, and a breakfast high in sugar is not a reliable way to manage nerves or maintain steady energy.
