How do you calm yourself and not be nervous?

And be confident and brave ect

Answer:
First thing I do is breath. In through your nose and out through your mouth, then I lie to me and tell me all the things that I really don't believe about myself. Stand up straight, head up and smile. Sometimes it works or I just go back to bed. Don't drink, tried that and it really doesn't work!
Try deep breathing. Like breathing in on one and out on two. It helps to calm your nerves and gives you a chance to remind yourself everyone gets nervous. Just be yourself!
You are asking several questions. One being calm is a choice (I take meds for anxiety), being confident is being prepared and delivering. Bravery is something we can't expect we will ever do. Some say we are brave just to get out of bed not knowing what might happen today. But, the kind of bravery I believe you are speaking of, saving a life, giving a life, is something we can never know we will do because these types of bravery are done on the spur of a moment. Our soldiers signed a paper and they could not do that if they believed they wouldn't make it back.
I have learned that every thing will pass so I tell myself that it won't last forever and that I can get through it and that I will be better for it. And 90% of the time it works. Just remember that except for death nothing is permanet.
Being nervous seems to follow lack of self-confidence.

Picture your audience [no matter HOW large or HOW small ]
in funny-looking underwear.
That may get you to smile, a smile you may need to learn to control.

Confidence and bravery only come with taking chances. Taking chances of getting hurt
is a much more difficult task,
than hiding in some hole somewhere.

Bravery comes with doing what your gut instinct tells you should be done, (like in a matter of life and death)... rather than what your pride tells you.

Calming oneself comes with practicing confidence.
Finding out I was a people pleaser, and wanted everyone to like me, was painful. When I accepted that all people are not going to like me, and that their own character defects needed working on ---- I stopped working on them, and focused on myself.

Hope this helps. GOD BLESS YOU. Good luck.
everytime you find yourself being nervous, just take in a deep breath and slowly exhale. this way you relax your body. this works and i learned it from a doctor, when i became nervous during a checkup. once you overcome nervousness, it will become easier to build your confidence. for some people, they gain confidence by changing their appearance; buying new clothes or changing their hairstyle. another way is to focus on things you accomplished and try to interact with people.
