How to Instantly Overcome Stage-Fright

Quickly turn your nerves into excitement.

Why not put your energy toward visualizing your ideal outcome?

As humans, we have this incredible biochemical computer in our head…also known as our brain! Our brain creates the entire reality that we see around us. It creates the way we feel about things, the way we react to things, and so much more. The incredible thing is that by picturing things turning out a certain way we can actually influence how we feel about an event, even before it happens!

Physiologically, nervousness and excitement are exactly the same.

When you go to give a talk, it is incredibly important that you visualize it going the way you want it to go. Not the way you think it might go because you’re nervous. Visualize the audience warmly receiving the information you’re sharing, visualize them being incredibly entertained, visualize them standing up at the end and giving you a massive standing ovation! Whatever perfect means to you, envision your talk going perfectly.

The next time you start to feel those nerves bubble up inside of you, stop everything you’re doing and check in with how you’re visualizing the outcome.

Now, despite knowing all this, many people still deal with serious stage fright or presentation anxiety, so to help with that we have something for you!
