Visualize success.
Our anxieties can reveal the worst-case scenarios. In fact, our brains are hard-wired to identify threats.
And, if we can see ourselves flubbing a line, sneezing uncontrollably, or some other wild mishap, then we can also visualize the opposite, best-case scenario.
💡 Close your eyes and imagine the stage.
💡 See your outfit, and your facial expression.
💡 Hear the confidence in your voice.
💡 See the audience leaning forward, nodding, laughing.
💡 Feel the deep breath of satisfaction when you take your seat.
Allow anxiety to reveal your fears. Then, visualize -- vividly! -- what success looks like.
