My top advice is that if you are really bothered or worried about your stutter, there are brilliant specialist Speech and Language Pathologists out there that can help you gain confidence and become more fluent. Here are some super simple techniques for starters: Breathing: Become aware of your breathing at rest. Put your hand on your belly and feel your diaphragm moving. If you are not sure where your diaphragm is, take a deep breath in and push your belly out. Then exhale and feel how your belly deflates. That’s the work of your diaphragm. Most people who stutter have too much muscle tension in their body during a stuttering episode. Notice if you hold your breath when you stutter. Try to relax your belly and keep on breathing throughout your stutter. Relaxation: Stuttering gets worse the more you struggle against it, are anxious to hide it and feel that it has a hugely negative impact on your live. This is a vicious cycle because more anxiety leads to more tension in the body and more stuttering. There are many really helpful techniques to help you relax – even in a stuttering situation. Find something that suits you best, be it Mindfulness, Progressive Muscle Relaxation or Meditation, and practice it 10 min every day. Confidence: Increased confidence leads to less tension which in turn leads to less stuttering. Try this little exercise: notice your thoughts before, in and after a social situation. Are your thoughts helpful? Did they help you relax, or did they make you feel worse? Thoughts lead to emotions which lead to actions. If you want to change your stutter, you have to stop being your worst critic and start being your own cheerleader.
