You walk out on that stage, You feel the lights hitting your face, You feel the audience staring at you. All you can think about is how your gonna mess up, how your gonna be an embarrassment on stage.

Okay see that sounds scary and I know it is because I've been through the same thing multiple times. You can quickly get over that scared feeling if you know how to it right. It is all about your mindset and what you do in that situation

Now, I'm a dancer and have been for 11 years so performing on stage is something that I can do in my sleep. But that doesn't mean that I never get nervous and anxious before stepping in front of thousands of people.

I am also someone who has anxiety so if you can't already tell, being nervous to dance on stage and my anxiety do not mix well.

Before going on stage here are a few things I like to do to calm my nerves.


Shake it out!!

Hype yourself up

Visualize you reducing your own nerves

POWER POSES

Don't psych yourself out...embrace that nervousness 

BREATHE!!!!

Enjoy the moment 

Finally, come on, you got this :)

Remember that your gonna be on that stage for a reason and your gonna thank yourself later for being brave and going up there.

bruce springsteen album cover born in the usa

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.
