12. Introduction
“For me, yoga is not just a workout --- it’s about
working on yourself.” This quote comes from a
world renowned yogi, Mary Glover. Good afternoon
class, my name is Breanna Smith, and I agree with
Mary’s statement. Yoga helps me to strengthen my
mind so that I can keep a positive attitude during
stressful situations. Along with yoga, my other
hobbies help me to find my serenity and joy.

14. Before starting the hectic day that lies ahead, it’s always
nice to go for a quick run. You begin by stretching out your
legs and torso, because pulling a muscle is no joke, trust me.
Once I’m all loosened up, I go outside to begin jogging. I’m
just starting out, I have my headphones in, and all I can
concentrate on is the feeling of one foot hitting the pavement
after the other. Speeding up, I can feel the wind on my face
and the smells of nature are surrounding me. The freshly cut
grass, the dew left from the following night, and because I
live near the ocean, the salt water on the cool morning breeze.
To clear my mind of everything going on in my life, I focus
on my breathing; in through my nose, out through my mouth.
Before I know it, it’s time to start making my way back home
and getting ready to start the day.

16. These three simple hobbies help me to keep my head clear
and stress level to a minimum. By starting my day running,
and then working out after the stress has built up, ending with
yoga to put my body and soul at ease; I believe I have a pretty
great system. Working out is more than just wanting a better
body, and yoga is more than just stretching and breathing.
Both of these activities help me to reach my serenity. So, with
that being said, I want to end by saying thank you, and
remember “We can be serene even in the midst of calamities
and, by our serenity, make others more tranquil.”

17. PHASE TWO: Classical
Roots

25 Times

more familiar with speech as well as
creating a solid written structure

19. Posture & Body Language
It is important to consider your
body language and the message that it
conveys. In general, you should practice
standing with a relaxed upright posture. Your
hands should be at your sides or clasped in
front of you, unless you are making a gesture
to emphasize a point. Become aware of your
facial expressions as well; they should
match the message you are delivering.

21. DELIVERY
Speak slowly and deliberately; it should
seem too slow to you
Pause between ideas
Carefully articulate and pronounce your
words
Avoid filler sounds like "Um" and "ah"
Vary the pitch and volume of your voice to
add interest

22. End a Speech with a
Strong Summary
Leading speakers end their speeches
like the opera star—on a high note,
vocally and intellectually. Just as the
comedian should leave ‘em laughing,
the speaker should leave ‘em thinking.
Last words linger. Last words crystallize
your thoughts, galvanize your message,
and mobilize your audience.
