Everyone Hates That Feeling…


When your heart feels like it’s drowning, your words refuse to form sentences and your body trembles against your will.

You want to make a good first impression. But when the thoughts of making a mistake or being judged hit you, it only makes the fear worse and the embarrassment unbearable.

At this point your brain will do anything and everything and anything to stop you feeling the sting of performance anxiety. Ultimately that means avoidance and a rise to the harsh inner critic which will make up a ton of excuses and reasons for why you shouldn't put yourself out there.

  • "You’ll just mess it up and look ridiculous."
  • "Why would anyone listen to you? You don’t know enough."
  • "You’re going to embarrass yourself, just like last time."
  • "You’re not as talented as the others; everyone can see that."
  • "You’re going to freeze up and ruin everything."

Sound familiar?

But Your Fears Are Not As Big And Scary As You Think

It’s not the task that we’re scared of. It’s the anticipation. The uncertainty of what will happen next. What if I don’t get that role or promotion? What if I’m broken and can’t heal? What if everyone was right about me?

When you bump up the negatives, it becomes too overwhelming to reach your goal. But what if that horrible feeling means that you’re on your way to achieving what you desire?
