Relax however you can at the end of it, get your mind off it, enjoy your favourite hobby, don't think about it. There will always be bad days, for everyone in the world. If they don't kill you, just k...

I acknowledge that I wasn't perfect, then I remind myself that it's OK, in the grand scheme of things, to not be perfect. I try to get extra sleep that night and I go on my way, one day at a time....

Back in the beginning of 9th grade, I told myself that I cannot let my stuttering impact how I live my life and be afraid to say or do anything. I could not prevent myself from taking risks or stoppin...

I've been starting to take this approach when it comes to presentations. I used to practice my lines to the point where I had memorized every word I was going to say. This is a basic presentation tech...

I tend to agree with you, this is the final mindset one has to achieve IMO, be completely stress-free about your stuttering and say whatever the fuck you want to say. But it's very hard to achieve tha...

Think about what makes you uncomfortable. Something that stresses you out a little just thinking about it. Now go do that thing. Then think about something that's just a little bit scarier/more stres...
