How to speak with controlled mind and pace

“Mind flooded with thoughts
He tried to put them into words
His unconfidence led his pace uncontrolled
That was where he lost his communication skill.”

How many times has it happened with you that you try to communicate in English but fail to put your thoughts into words? The notions, as soon as they hit your tongue, they get scrambled and scattered, and all you end up with is disgracing yourself.

We all focus more on speaking, that’s it! But if it carefully noted, there are 3 main causes to this melancholy:

1. Uncontrolled mind
2. Lack of confidence
3. Comparison with foreign accent.

Talking about the 1st cause, the amateurs completely rush into words, regardless of the pace. They do not have a proper control over their minds. It is like a jet of notions coming out from a nozzle at high velocity. To overcome this, one just needs to calm down and keep the pace low. Think, speak, repeat! No matter how slow, keep your mind under your control and maintain a pause between words to keep pace control.

Moving on to the next, in most cases, the common thing people 
face is lack of confidence. Whatever you speak, be clear enough. If you are right at what you speak, you’ll create an impression. If you make a mistake, the opposite fellow can correct you, so you can learn and eventually, excel.

Finally comes the ego problem; the comparison. We have an outdated, common habit by comparing our accents with that of British and American English. Be original. If you try to copy, the aftermath can lead you to confusion and mumbo-jumbo of your own words. Better follow your own accent. You are the best speaker when you are yourself!

Tip: When you speak, you can get rid of ‘a’s by replacing them by a small pause to avoid your confidence to descend.
