Public speaking anxiety: The secret of Zendaya, Harry Styles, and Meghan Markle

Behind external confidence and fame, there are various stresses and anxieties. Even the world's most famous stars feel a bit sensitive before stepping onto the big stage or in front of an audience. But this is not a barrier for them — because each of them has found their own “secret weapon” to overcome excitement.

Zendaya: Deep breathing and internal signals towards calmness

Young Hollywood star Zendaya often appears on the red carpet, at premieres or major events, shining brightly and confidently. However, according to her, she is also sensitive to the environment and can easily pick up on others' moods. Before public events, Zendaya tries to be alone, closes her eyes, and takes deep, slow breaths. At this moment, she repeats to herself: “You are in a safe place” — through this focus, she achieves inner confidence and calmness.

Harry Styles: Music and memorable objects give strength

One of the world's most famous musicians, Harry Styles, even as an experienced performer, still feels nervous before taking the stage. What helps him the most is a special music playlist. Before the stage, Harry listens to songs that give him strength and confidence. He also always carries with him something connected to his childhood or family — a ring, a chain, or a symbol. These items remind Harry of home and bright memories, and help him feel like an ordinary person.

Meghan Markle: Finding inner strength through role-playing

For member of the British royal family and actress Meghan Markle, feeling comfortable in public is natural. Before any official or large event, she uses the “role entry” method: she adjusts her walk, gaze, and facial expression to match royal manners. “Sometimes you may not feel fully confident, but if you show confidence, your body sends a positive signal to your brain and you actually start to feel it,” says Meghan.

Conclusion: Big stage or everyday life — it doesn’t matter

Interestingly, even global stars face excitement and difficulties just like ordinary people. What we can learn from them is that the main thing is not to deny these feelings, but to manage them correctly, support yourself, and find your strong side in every situation. Everyone has their own formula — but the result is the same: the road to inner confidence and calm opens. Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
