Episode Recording

In today's episode of two minutes of motivation. I'm going to be sharing with you three ways to feel more competent in high pressure situations.

I chatted this week with Katrin Beierl on the show and she's an Olympian. So she's been in very high pressure situations and she shared some really great insights. So if you haven't checked that out, I highly recommend you do. The first thing I want to talk about is preparation. The more prepared you feel, the more confident you're going to feel.

So if you have something coming up that's high stakes or that you're nervous about or stress about. Put in the time and the effort to feel prepared, to make sure you understand the content and that automatically is going to make you feel better when you show up for that big event or whatever it is you have coming up.

The second thing is to remember your mission. So keep out of your head a little bit. Sometimes if you have a big event or presentation or whatever it may be, you can focus a lot on how other people are going to be feeling about you or whether or not you're going to be judged or whether or not you're going to make a mistake. All those fears can creep in, but if you're able to get out of your head space about that and focus more on the mission and the value that you're bringing to others, that is a really great way to boost confidence. When you remember what it's all really about, you come back to your personal mission. 

The third tip is to make sure that you're practicing whatever it is you need to accomplish or do In situations that maybe a little bit uncomfortable. So for example, if you're about to give a big talk, you could practice looking at yourself in the mirror, or you could practice giving it to maybe a family member that will give you feedback on it. So put yourself in situations where you're going to feel a little uncomfortable, because then when the actual event occurs, it's going to take the pressure off and that's going to help boost your confidence.

So the three tips again are number one, prepare. Number two is remember your mission and number three, practice in situations that are going to take you outside of your comfort zone. 

I hope that this helps until next time, this is Kristel Bauer with Live Greatly, inspiring you to awaken your ultimate potential.
