Consider professional athletes storied for their ability to excel under pressure: Michael Jordan, ball in hand, with two seconds to make the basket and win the game; or Tiger Woods on the eighteenth hole of the Masters, preparing to sink a ten-foot birdie putt to capture the title. The greater the pressure, the more focused the athlete. Michael and Tiger know how to use the pressure of performance to increase power and presence.
Getting Ready: Your Body Prepares Just Like You Do
Similarly, you can manage your relationship with stage fright by working with it instead of running from it, and allow it to shift you into "the zone" of optimal performance described by professionals the world over. What follows are mental and physical strategies to transform your nervous energy into directed energy before and during your presentation [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], plus additional tips on how to enjoy your moments in the limelight.
For instance, when I'm feeling intimidated by a workshop group, my inner mugger will say things like: They won't like this presentation. They'll see right through you. You're not good enough for this group.Right? You know the words. Not terribly useful. I used to try to ignore this attacking voi
For example, when I'm really nervous [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I shiver. In the past, the shivers could grow strong enough to prevent me from speaking or performing. Before a concert some years ago, instead of resisting, I tried to amplify the symptom and shiver more. At first, I just went with the shivering motion, then gradually increased it until I was shaking like crazy, the difference being that now I was intentionally shivering. I was the driver instead of the passenger. By mimicking the nervous shaking and intensifying it, I was gradually able to slow it down and stop it. I think I also used up the nervous energy. As in aikido, I blended with the energy of the attack and redirected it. It was a fun learning.
The anxiety associated with performance usually spikes shortly before show time. But symptoms can begin days or even weeks in advance and range from dry mouth and shortness of breath to shaking, shivering, and complete inability to perform.
I practice aikido, a martial art based on aligning with the attacker and redirecting the attack. Instead of seeing an attack, the aikidoist sees energy. If I see what's coming as attack, I defend against it. If I see energy, I expand my options. When I suspend my belief that the event is negative, I can direct its energy purposefully toward my goal.
Transform the inner mugger: Prior to the presentation, notice your internal dialogue. Is it friendly or hostile? If it's friendly, great. Keep it. If not, blend and redirect. Acknowledge the voice and work with it.
As a professional singer and speaker, I'm often asked if I still get nervous in front of an audience. I do. But I've learned to use my nervous energy – and minimize its impact.
Let's apply this concept to an attack of stage fright. If you're like most people, you consider stage fright a negative event. What if you suspend this belief for a moment and imagine your anxiety as energy you can direct toward your goal of a great performance? The purpose of this article is to help you use the energy we call stage fright to increase your power and presence in front of an audience.
Change your perspective. While it may seem that your body is attacking you, consider that what you call nerves or anxiety may actually be your body's way of getting ready for the event. Rename the "attack" and call it excitement, preparation, and purposeful design. In addition, focus your awareness on the symptoms. Notice how they show up, grow, subside, grow again, and subside again. Don't resist them. Ride the wave. Be there. By this I mean stay present, breathe, and increase your kinesthetic awareness. Measure the symptoms (That was a 7 on the Richter scale [link widoczny dla zalogowanych]!). Be curious about them (Wow, look how my body is shaking. Amazing!). Even try amplifying them.
