I gave him my under 16’s ticket and he didn’t believe I was under 16. He asked my date of birth and I couldn’t say it. He then kicked me off the bus because he thought I was lying.

      Don’t feel that way. Life is long and you can make changes to start appreciating all that you have. Whenever you feel this way, I want you to write down three things that you are grateful for. Even if you feel awful, force yourself to sit and write 3 blessings that you can actually be thankful for! Then once you acknowledge these three things. Spend a little time working on this issue at hand. You’ll find that you’ve changed your psychology to a more positive mindset and so will allow the work to work because you’re not frustrated. 💪💪💪

I remember being at school and the teachers would ask the class a question, and I knew all the answers but couldn’t say them because I knew I would start to stutter. However, the only time I don’t stutter is when I’m saying phrases from a movie or start to sing. I just wish there was a cure to get rid of it. But this video has helped! Thank you.

  • @MyStutteringLife
    @MyStutteringLife Před 4 lety +618

    My daily regimen to help manage my stutter is: (1) Practice Daily Mindful Meditation - 10 mins (2) Practice Diaphragmatic Breathing - 10 mins (3) Reading Out Loud - 10 mins (4) Practice In Front Of My Bathroom Mirror - I practice greetings, my name, salutations, etc.... The most fascinating aspect of all of this is when I DON'T focus on my stutter and I focus on the conversation, the person I'm speaking to and I'm in the moment, my stutter lessens and often goes away. When I focus on living and being in the moment, my speech improves. When I have a block, I stop, breathe, and continue on. We are all different in our speech journey but our common denominator is that we are not alone. The main point of all of this is that there is no magic pill but through daily practice, you will see and hear the difference. All of my coaches told me that if you want to get good at a skill, you need to practice. (My background: started stuttering at age 5 due to a traumatic dog attack. I had no voice for one year after the dog attack and then I attended 20 years of speech therapy. I'm 49 now with 95% fluency. I focus on living and not my stutter. Fear has no more control over me, I'm in control now.)

    Summary
    1. relax your body, muscles and jaw
    - drop shoulders and relax muscles
    - focus on breathing
    - massage jaw
    2. slow down your speech
    - recognise patterns in speech stuttering
    3. Focus attention away from yourself
    - focus on the action, not the words. Focus on how you're trying to affect the listener. Words will come automatically.
    - example: when flirting, don't think about the words you have to say but think about how you are trying to affect the other person with flirting.
    - example 2: when scolding, don't think about the words, think about the action and effect of scolding.
    4. Practice daily
    If it doesn't work: stop, breathe, slow down, think of the action or change the action.

      You're not alone. I'm 22. I'm an introvert. I stutter and stammer. The fear of this has made me refrain from having conversations with people. I'm terrified of having phone calls with people for the first time. When I'm called to read out, I'm terrified. The last time in high school when I was selected to debate. I stammered and stuttered so bad. That was the last the last time I ever did that.
      I haven't practiced speaking for years now that my spoken English is rusty. I found solace in written words.
      The irony of it is that I'm a lawyer, a CZcamsr and a weight loss coach. All these entails that I speak a lot.
      I'm trying everyday to be better.

    I've been stuttering since I learned to talk. I couldn't get through a sentence without stuttering.
    My family (bless them) didn't know that it was an actual speech impediment and would hit me in the mouth every time I stuttered thinking that I was doing it on purpose.
    My mom's approach of getting me to get over my stutter was to force me into public speaking. Eventually I wouldn't stutter as much in front of a crowd (I still did very randomly with conversations)
    I was bullied because of my weight and my stutter as I was growing up, and it wasn't until I was in college that I saw The King's Speech for the first time and found out that I wasn't alone- a lot of people had that problem too.
    I used the same techniques I saw there and what I see in these videos to try to overcome my stutter.
    My stutter still comes back every now and then, but I learned to overcome it by:
    - avoiding trigger sounds when I know I'm about to stutter (so using a synonym instead: eg, saying sheet instead of paper)
    - using hand gestures to force the sound out
    - blending it with an "umm" to not make it so obvious
    - controlling my pace so I can really visualize each word I'm about to say.
    I never let my stutter stop me from doing what I love - I'm currently an English communications trainer and scuba instructor. So I'm constantly fighting my battle with my stutter every day, and not letting it silence me. So I'm super thankful for videos like this for helpinh me get through my stutter the past 10 years. ❤️❤️❤️

    As someone who had a severe stutter and as someone who still has a minor stutter now. I can say this to you. 90 percent of it is psychological because when you stutter for so long it becomes a habit to stutter more and more. I took this course on Udemy and it’s helped me a lot. Also I have to say that meditation and reading a book out loud helps a lot and also getting out of your comfort zone too. You guys got this 💯

  • @prerakparekh8537
    @prerakparekh8537 Před 3 lety +5

    I think rather then slowing down, we must allow the tounge to complete its motion while speaking. This make our mind more confident that we are able to speak and also it gives time to tounge and vocal cords to come in position for the next word. I have tried this and this has really worked like I tried to speak some complex words like Reservation, Conformation in normal speech with the technique and this relly worked. Slowing down is good but if we combined the above mentioned technique it can produce best results.

    I am 22 now. I use to have a bad speech impediment where I couldn't even finish a sentence. It all started with a constant ear infection. Yes. A ear infection. It created a disconnect with me hearing, to what I am saying. Fast forward 6 years. I always had a speech therapist in both elementary and middle school years. As a young child, it greatly affected my social and mental health at the time where I was constantly teased to the point where I stopped talking all together, throughout my whole middle and part of my high school years. Today, I am talking and able to go through a conversation without severely stuttering. I trip up sometimes when I talk to fast, so slowing myself down helped me alot.

    My friend stutter a lot and honestly I don’t find anything wrong with that I feel like it’s just a special way for them to talk and to be known but he really hate it, he hate talking to people and he hate using his own voice for communication and I’ve tried giving him support mentally like I honestly never thought that the way he talks is detracting or unordinary I think of it as special bu the doesn’t and I am just trying my best to help but I just don’t know what to do 🤧🤧😭😭💕💫
    I am his childhood friend and he always tell me if it was special then why can’t I make new friends, ITS YOU is my reply always because you should try putting yourself out there I know that it’s hard and it takes a lot of courage but you shouldn’t hide who you really are to sake acceptance, you are perfect and I mean a lot suffer more severe stuff but they fight and over come the power to defeat it BE STRONG and PUT YOURSELF OUT THERE, you only live once and you will regret being anti social just because of your stuttering. Some are willing to accept you the way you are so don’t let those who destroyed your confidence or YOU from someone who might give you all the support you want 🥰 I love you for who you are and even if no one loved you I am here and I know I might not be much but talk to me if you need it 😭😭💕
    I really love his reactions when he is stuttering and trying his best to express his emotions 😂😭🥺💕 someone might feel that same way AND I KNOW THERE IS SOMEONE

    Even though I'm still primarily young,, I found when I keep thinking and perciving I had a stutter it just made it worst. I'm so nervous of ordering fast food which makes me really upset because that means I'll just have to order on postmates all the time.. it's really getting to me how stuttering still isn't normalized. I have trouble speaking to my mom and her reponse is "speak better". Seriously, so unencouraging. I really want to go to the hairdresser to get my hair styled but I had a horrible experience with a hair dresser saying how "I wasn't fluent in speech" and is quote on quite an illiterate. Anyway, I fear for my future thank you for listening to my tedtalk. 💗

    Thanks for the video, I will surely implement this. Because I continuously think about stammering, whether I will able to talk in front of strangers or not. I do not stammer when I am alone or reading some book or article. I just stammer on phone call or in front of stangers or people with authority. And most importantly, I am afraid of not getting a job.
