Intense concentration 15 first-rate antidote to nerves, but this, with most people, requires little initial training, until the habit is per- manently acquired. The "antidote" is this. Fix your eyes
on a tiny point either a mark, ព sign, or the minutest of objects-at the far corner of the room, and stare fixedly at it for five minutes or so.
Do not remove your eyes from it even for the fraction of a second, and the result will be a steadying of the nerves.
These few raethods of counteract- Ing nervousness should be a distinct help, when you feel "on edge," especially if you can accustom your- self to use them all, in turns, since ane method done to death may lose Its power, but variety keeps each method fresh and effective.
