How to calm down my nerves?

[Anonymous]

I am so nervous right now I feel sick. I have a big event in a few hours and I can't stop thinking about what could go wrong. I'm kind of freaking out and it's a little hard to breath. I feel like I'm gonna throw up. I still have 4 hours until it even starts. How do I calm down?

Pray to God. God is in control.

We are imperfect beings tainted by sin. It may be natural for us to do wrong things and live in fear of condemnation for what we did wrong, but that doesn't mean it's okay. As a matter of fact, we deserve to die because of the wrong things we did.

But, despite how wrong we were, God is a graceful and merciful God. He loves us so much that He sent His only begotten son, Jesus Christ, to suffer the death that we deserved on the cross and was raised from the dead by our heavenly Father so that we may live forever with Him. If you truly and sincerely believe that, and you can say "Jesus is Lord," that means you are one of the souls our God has saved, and will live forever in heaven with HIm after this life on earth!

And knowing that, God's Holy Spirit has been placed within your heart. Now you have the desire to submit to God's Word in the Bible! Allow the Holy Spirit to fill you like the wind constantly filling the sails of a ship! Enjoy and be thankful for every breath God has allowed you to breathe. Whatever happens, God let it happen for a reason.

If the event goes well, great! If the event doesn't go well, you're going to have an infinitely better event in heaven if you're a believer! It's a win-win situation.

God bless you, and hope your event goes well!

Talking to a loved one works well for me.

Drink some milk and eat some bananas. They contain amino acids called L-tryptophan that is a precursor to the sleep hormone serotonin. It will calm you down.

You may not be able to, but whenever I have to play music in public, I have a glass of wine or similar before. Just relaxes me and the notes just flow. I guess it depends on what you're doing.
