  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 had a co-worker who had trembling hands but theirs was a result of a medical condition. If it is a habit, and not a medical condition, it might be helpful to have something small to hold in your hand. When I was young, I had a small "worry stone" that was smooth to the touch that I could rub around in my hand. This is something small that does not bring attention to what you are doing that still allows your arms and hands to be in a natural state. I will also wear nail polish just so I can feel it with my other hands; this is something else that potentially blends in.
