How to STOP Stuttering

how to stop stuttering so this is something I used to struggle with without even knowing especially when I was younger so I wasn't someone that was a person that was stuttering a lot but I did have my little stutters here and there and no one ever told me this but then as I got older sometimes I struggled to rightfully word a certain word at the right time and make a coherent sentence if that makes sense and then like when I started my YouTube channel that's when I really started to notice that stuttering is something that I struggle with and it's hard to admit it sometimes because then you're like I can't speak how am I someone that can't even speak in natural human thing you know um but then over the years I've been able to overcome this and now I'm very social I'm very easy to talk to and I've also gotten more okay with stuttering because I'm gonna try to dude this video in one take it's kind of a challenge for myself to see like how far I can get without structuring and even if I do start it it's completely fine it's a human thing because at the end of the day no one is perfect and we all try to be perfect but we can only be the best version of us so um first things first let's talk about the impact of stuttering on self-confidence because if you're someone that's constantly stuttering you don't want to talk you're like if I'm gonna open my mouth words are gonna come out of my mouth that might not even make sense I won't even be able to pronounce them correctly and I know that there's a lot of you guys struggling with that and there's a huge impact on your social skills on your self-belief self-confidence and the fear of Judgment of people having a negative reaction can get to you I completely understand it and like the easy answer is stop stuttering practice practice practice but sometimes it's harder than that sometimes it's like a mental barrier for some reason you've got it in your mind but you can't get it out and it's such a frustrating feeling and that's why to store off this stuttering journey I want to tell you that it's okay to stutter because there's a lot of techniques to improve your fluency and it will really change how you are as a person it will make you so much more confident especially if you're someone that is a very very strong stutter and you already know a very confident person because it's like a mental barrier that you're trying to overcome and because you can't even say what you want to say rightfully without being judged or feeling judged it's not good feeling so I do want to tell you that you're not alone in this journey there's a lot of people that stutter some are stuttering more severe than all this and it's completely fine and I know that sometimes some individuals start to start to in a different language because I was born in the Netherlands and my first language was Dutch and then Urdu or it was Urdu and then Dutch so we pick some Pakistan if I was born in the Netherlands so I feel like both languages I learned at the same time but it doesn't matter so when it comes to those languages I never really had an issue speaking them and are they a stutter but then English was fine as well until I started to buy this camera for YouTube when I started to put myself out of for YouTube like it's so much more nerve-wracking than people think and it can really gets you it's like you're talking to a camera knowing that unlimited people can see you and the pressure can get to you especially if you're speaking in a language that is not your first language because what happens is that um in my mind that it was like as if I was speaking in Dutch or at least my mind was speaking in Dutch whilst I was speaking in English so I have to constantly translate and that can also have some sort of impact when it comes to stuttering so it's not only about people that have a natural starter because some people start stuttering when they speak in a different language and this video is to help those individuals as well and the first thing I want to tell you is to relax even someone that's nervous anxious it won't help you I'm sorry the more nervous or anxious you get the worse it will get so that's the first thing I would say relax if you're someone that can't relax it'll be so much harder for you the next thing is breathing exercises learn how to breathe and I know it sounds weird but if you don't know how to breathe you'll be talking like yeah so I also it doesn't sound good and you're more likely to stumble over your own words breathing relax and speak slowly because that's the next thing that I wanted to say slow and steady wins races if you're someone that starters a lot of times you speak too quick you're trying to get the message that you have in your brain too quickly out to the world and yeah this isn't good especially for those individuals that are stuttering in general it's not good to speak very quickly because if you're someone that speaks very quickly you're giving so much energy and you're draining yourself and when it comes to social skills people that speak slow leave gaps sound more interesting anyways so slow down and stop being this nervous the next thing I want to say is to practice tongue twisters sometimes there's just words you can't pronounce that's completely fine but as long as she put in the work put in the effort because previously I said that practice practice isn't everything but then practice is important if there's certain words you can't pronounce you can either try to convey and find a way where you don't even have to use that word in your sentence or you can try to practice these tongue twisters to make sure that you stop stuttering the next thing is speech therapy and this is like more professional but then you start to sit down with someone starts you have conversations these individuals are specialized in helping you to speak and this is a good way and something that some of you guys want to have a look at if you're someone that feel like you're really really struggling and not seeing any sort of progress sometimes it's a confidence issue sometimes it's more mental it really depends you need to yourself reflect yourself and see whether you actually need help it's completely fine to ask for help but obviously try the trips obviously try the tips in this video so that was the first thought and this way uh yeah you can find out whether you need it and the last thing I want to mention is visualize success so it's very hard to not win if you can't imagine it and the same goes with what you say even someone that wants to stop stuttering you need to be able to visualize your success and it's very easy so talk to yourself in the mirror look at yourself I'm not even telling you to be perfect I'm not even telling you to have a full-on sentence just look at yourself in the mirror and have that conversation in your mind first then you can start to speak to the mirror and even if the mirror is too intense and you're looking at yourself and it feels like it's too overwhelming just walk around in your room speak to the wall speak to nothing and truly for a lot of people the more you practice in this way the better becomes because it can be hard especially if you feel like that you'll get judged and people will have some sort of negative reaction to your stuttering practice alone there's no one that will be able to judge you only yourself and the next thing I want to mention is that sometimes if we are someone that want to overcome stuttering it's really a self-esteem issue we don't feel like we're good enough and it's a truly truly devastating thing and that's why I really really want to help you out I wrote a free globe Secrets book I will have it linked down below and this book
