Thank Fear, Then Insist On Your Goal
- Anxiety is doing its job to protect you, so thank it and insist on your chosen action.
- Framing fear as helpful changes your relationship with it and lets you move forward.
Embed The Silent Sentence In Your Notes
- Write your silent sentence into your speaker notes or script and mark it as internal (e.g., parentheses).
- Practice starting rehearsals with that silent line so it becomes automatic during the event.
Use A Short, Repeatable Intention
- Use short, repeatable silent sentences like 'Let's grow' to center intention before speaking.
- Rehearse the silent line followed by your out-loud intro so both become habitual.
