Three useful tips to overcome stage fright
Performance situation is usually a stressful one. But we can always reduce the level of stress by following some tip which help in overcoming physical simptoms.
The main idea of the first tip is to recognize the stress as excitment. You need to decieve your body by thinking of the presantation as something "fun" rather than stress. In this way adrenaline rush works for you rather than against you.
The second tip I found useful is watch what you eat. And the most important thing here (at least for me) is about sugar. The sugar level should be neither too low nor too high. But if you really needs happy food, you just must eat something that makes you happy. For me it's always chocolate. That's why I had some problrms with sugar level but now I try to maintain it.
And the last tip but not the least. Make yourself laugh. I have noticed that every successful person has a good sense of humour. There is a physiological reason for it. The more enjoyment you are feeling, the easier it is to think with your cortex instead of reacting with your adrenal glands.
To conclude, all these three thing are about enjoyment. And I think that they are the reflection of a person's attitude toward life. I think that changing our views on some things, such as what enjoyment, happiness, mistakes are, may help us to change our views on the stage fright.

Hi Arina! I really enjoyed reading your post on stage fright. It's well structured and informative.
ОтветитьУдалитьI also like the ideas you picked up. I strongly agree with the "happy food" one. Indeed, a sweet treat is the best part of any stressful situation :)
