Sorry for the spelling errors, trying from my phone.

1. practice
2. when you're actually up there, pretend you're talking to an empty room. Look over people's heads to the back of the room. Think only of what you're saying, nothing else.
This should get you through the presentation.
The anticipatory anxiety will probably be the worst part. Distract yourself.

Thank you Cassandra I will try. Wish me luck.

Look at the screen and glance at them. I had to speak in class at the spur of the moment. I thougth I was going to panic, but I somehow managed. Its helps me alot just putting it on the screen and backing up pointing to it with quick glances.

Hope things went well.

When I was at National College (for a very short time thanks to anxiety) I was in a psychology class and had to do public speaking. I really liked it once I got in to it. I also did it when we read lessons at my old church ( some of the congregation members would take turns reading them It may seem hard but it;s actually kinda cool. Good luck

A little bit of practice will probably help. Using your materials, stand in front of a mirror , or some willing live audience, and give your presentation just as you plan to give it for real. Stop at the end, take a deep breath, and ask if there are any questions.

Run through it two or three times if possible, so you know how long it takes, and a bit about what might happen during. If you decide major changes are needed, do the practice again after making them. Keep telling yourself silently that you will not panic, and you won't.

When you look to the back of the room, imagine that you see someone you love, smiling at you like they would be if they could be there. Good luck. You will do fine.

P.S. I would not be taking a double dose of any sedative drug before a presentation. A little anxiety makes the mind work better. Feeling dopey, spacey or befuddled during your presentation would not be helpful.

Here's another technique for beating panic/stage fright. Make your breath your friend, and do the 2-second meditation. That is, think about regulating your breathing, so that it is deep and even. This will help you to keep your brain oxygenated and also help with returning your focus to your message and your presentation.
