Shaking hands can be a result of plenty of issues, physical or emotional. If it's a physical issue, it would be best to see a physician (this kind of thing is usually related to stress or trauma suffered by the joints, and it happens from time to time, regardless of the surroundings). If the shaking is caused by an emotional/mental health issue, then it would be safe to try and identify the strongest emotion you are having, and concentrate on the source (e.g. If your hands are shaking because you are furious, where is the fury coming from? What can you do to stop it); more often than not though, this could be caused by something out of your control, such as stress or anxiety. I think that a short term solution would be trying out a few breathing techniques and seeing which one works for you, and a long time solution might be taking this issue to a therapist. Take care!

Breathing. It helps to manage the feelings inside of you. Breahte in and breathe out. Think about how the air goes through your Lungs and how they end in your heart. Everytime you breathe out think about all the emotions you blow out in the same time. They dont need that much space in your heart. Now take your own hands and hold them. Your not alone, you have yourself. You are strong and powerful. Do the exercises one more time and breathe in and out. You feel the air everywhere in your body now. Your body is ready for working again.

Hands shaking is multiple things, it could be stress, anxiety, or just something with your blood sugar. If you have a strong feeling that it may be stress, try to calm down. Try doing something that calms you down. If its something that has to do with people, leave the room. Go to a quiet space and take deep breathes. Its normal to feel overwhelmed in front of certain people if you need to do something.

When we experience anxiety or fear we pick up some compulsive habits such as feet tapping, nail biting or hand shaking. However, since we are talking exclusively about handshaking, it would be beneficial to know that sometimes hand shaking stems from nerve problems. In thay case it's highly recommended to consult a physician if the handshaking is severe and out of control. Now, come to the question of managing. We'll be first willing to stop it and for that willing to pay the price. The price is nothing but diligent practice and discipline. Firstly, we need observed at what time, for what and for how long our hands are shaking? What are the triggers behind? When did we pick up this habit? Once we know the reasons and trigger, we'll make ourselves equipped to before the handshaking occurs. We can divert ourselves by observing details of the surroundings or perhaps by eating a candy or engaging in a friendly conversation with others. We may also take measures to avoid the triggers for a time before we eliminate the root cause of this. This is it. Thank you so much for reading my answer and please pardon my grammatical erros. Have a good day!

I have a full body tremor! I'm entirely happy to talk about it, and I can totally relate! I try to concentrate on something else, myself. Sometimes when we focus enough, it can take away from the more irritating or negative parts we deal with. Of course, for mental situations we use mindfulness, grounding, etc. Which, if a root cause of shaking is anxiety, could work, but not always! I quite like picking up a pen and doodling on scrap paper! I can try to control my hands a little more, with a creative spark! Other hobbies could be used, too, of course. Gaming, reading, music, anything really! It's likely that, for me, I usually fixated on something worrying, or something triggering just happened, and I need to work through the feelings I gained from it.

Honestly, my hands shake a lot. So do my legs. People have said it's anxiety, but I don't see how the two of those correlate. It could possibly be anxiety, so you could get help, or some physical problem. Also, don't drink too much coffee, and try to get good sleep, because I don't and I am quite shaky. I think that strong emotions or just gripping your hands too much can also cause something like it too. Personally, I don't think there is anything wrong with me that's causing this other than sleep problems and anxiety, but try searching on the internet and if you have any related conditions to shaky hands.

A first step that you could potentially take is to determine the source of your hands shaking. By determining the cause of this habit, you could be able to come up with solutions or actions to take to minimize your shaking. For example, is there a certain location, time, or individuals that tend to "trigger" your hands to shake? I've also experienced frequent hand shaking before. After some reflection into my daily life, I realized that the source of my shakiness was due to anxiety. So to reduce my hands from frequently shaking, I determined sources of anxiety for me. You can try the same and see it it works for you.
