There is a caveat here, however. Remember that anxiety or fear is an emotional messenger telling you that there is something in your future to prepare for. You mustn't use this technique to avoid preparation. Before speaking to large audiences, I go out into my future to just after a well received speech. I sometimes even imagine a standing ovation. It removes any nervousness I might have. But I always remind myself that just because I'm not fearful doesn't mean I don't have to get ready. I prepare vigorously. Preparation is key to any success, and fear is your preparation alert. Once your preparation is complete, however, there's no longer any need for anxiety. |
