  Case: Trembling Hands
I have a terrible habit that I just cannot seem to conceal. When I'm nervous about just about anything my hands start to tremble. I've noticed I even do this in front of my students. Sometimes I'll just hold my hands together, but I think thats just about as bad. Any recommendations on how to deal with this?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I deal with this a lot as well. I have found that taking a deep breath before continuing helps a lot. Using gestures or holding on to something that I can fidgit with conceals my shaking hands. I love to hold pens/pencils so if my hands are shaking it just looks like I'm waving the pen/pencil and nobody seems to mind, especially if I keep it out of sight (below the desk, behind my back, etc.).
