5 tips to control fast speaking
Michal runs a large law firm in the center of the country and she has a problem that she speaks fast. She always spoke fast, but in the many stressful situations that exist within her work, she felt frustrated because many people often did not understand her. Even if she tries to speak more slowly, eventually the excitement or pressure gets the better of her and she will speak faster and faster until it is impossible to follow what she is saying.
Many people speak fast. Many of them are not aware of this, and those who are, feel the great frustration that it is difficult for the people around them to understand them. "That's how I am," a student told me more than once. "I don't believe it's possible to change something like this," another student told me on occasion. You can slow down the pace of speech. In order to slow it down, you first need to understand what could be causing us to speak so fast, as well as what are the consequences of our fast speaking.
pressure
In recent years we learn more and more how much stress affects our lives. We heard that stress can raise our blood pressure, our heart rate, and cause all kinds of other problems. Stress can also affect our speech. When we are under stress, our heart rate increases, our blood pressure increases, and this can also cause us to speak faster.
posture
Bad posture can also affect the rate of our speech. When our back is bent the air does not flow as it should and yes it can increase the feeling of pressure and discomfort and as a result we may speak faster
breathing
It turns out that it is inevitable: our breathing will affect our speech, and our speech will affect our breathing. The faster we talk, the more stressed we will be and we will need more air. As we breathe faster and in a less good and thorough way, we will be accompanied by a constant feeling of shortness of breath and, as a result, the inevitable need to get as many words as possible out of our breath: hereafter, speak quickly.
Do not open your mouth enough
Another reason for speaking fast is actually very common: people don't open their mouths enough. When you don't open your mouth it can cause a lot of problems of lack of understanding of speech, but in our case the case is simple: when you don't move something a long distance, you can move it faster. Try to move your hand a long distance and then try to move it quickly. You will find that the shorter you move it, the faster you can move it.
