Most of us who have stepped to a podium know the awful symptoms of
a choke-in progress: cottony mouth, grinding stomach, tightness in the
chest. And the situation doesn’t have to be public, either. It can
happen when we ask for a raise or call someone for a first date.
Each time you are faced with an important task or decision, and during the process you let overwhelm you in a physical sense, that is choking, as embarrassment looms, a warning signal exits the brain with sirens flashing, heading for the adrenal glands. When it turns the adrenal spigot, the surge that follows mobilizes the system.
Heart rate increases rapidly. Saliva production falls. Blood vessels constrict and reduce the flow of blood to the stomach. Meanwhile, breathing can become more rapid and shallow.
For some, like star athletes it is an occupational hazard. What amazes is that an awful lot of very successful people have the same fears and anxieties as everyone else. The difference is, they of worked out their own way of getting past them. Here is what other in the public eye suggests quelling the terrors of performance.
If you try using a psychological trick to convince yourself that you are confident, at some level you’ll know it is just a trick. But the confidence that comes from preparation is the real thing.
☼ Take a deep sleep:
Believe that getting your body ready is always as important as anything else. If you feel good you perform better.
☼ Don’t miss your diet:
A performing artist remembers doing two shows in one light in a New York club. Before the late show she developed a queasy stomach. She managed to finish the performance, and then realized she had forgotten to eat during the day as a result her get low blood sugar. There are physical explanations for a lot of psychological problems.
☼Don’t do anything continuously:
In a line of work, you would overwhelm yourself if looked at each day as two-hour program. Instead, try to view it as four half-hour program, each with an opening, middle and a close. If you go into it like that, you don’t overwhelm your self.
☼ Deep breath helps:
A singer uses to get physically sick before every performance. The singer says that one of the most important things to remember is that the only difference between fear and anticipation is breathing. When she goes onstage, she imagines herself breathing all the way down into her feet. It helps take the pressure off.
☼ Do something… anything :
If you find yourself going flat or tentative, determined thoughts can make all the difference. Force yourself to come alive by being assertive. Go out and channel energy. Make a positive fight to meet the challenges before you
