Rod Stewart was so nervous in one of his concerts that he didn’t face the audience for his first song. He sang it behind large speakers. In the middle of a live performance, Barbra Streisand suddenly panicked and forgot the lyrics. After that, she stopped doing live concerts for more than two decades for fear that it will happen again. Beyonce Knowles is really so shy that she had to morph as her alter ego Sasha Fierce, so she can be the performer people admire.
Here are some tips on how to mentally prepare before a performance and to get rid of stage fright.
1. Relax: On the day of your performance, engage in an activity that will give you a moment of silence. Be alone if you want. Find that inner place where you’re most comfortable. Go to that inner sanctuary where you’re most at peace and calm. You can also get rid of anxiety-provoking thoughts by going to the spa and getting a massage....relaxationnnnn.
2. Create Imageries: See yourself entering the scene with confidence. Be the person you want to be when you get on the stage. See yourself performing in your best element. Picture the crowd’s positive reaction.
3. Engage in positive self-talk: Reassure yourself in a positive way. Tell yourself that "You Can" and that "it’s going to be Perfectly Okay". Repeat positive affirmations over and over again either out load or silently. Believe in yourself!
4. Get in the zone: Embrace the time with positivity, Engulf the moment with a state of true bliss. If we feel joy in our mind, we appear joyful and it will show in our performance.
5.Talk to someone: final step is talking to someone that has experienced this issue before because he/she will help you in any way, before you know it you will be on stage giving the best performance of your life.
