A famous British stage actor used to be horribly frightened
before each performance.
One day someone kindly inquired, “How’s your body feel when
you’re about to go on stage, when you say you have stage
fright? What are the sensations you feel. Just what your
senses tell you. Don’t label the sensations.”
“Hmm,” he pondered. “Well, my heart’s racing, I’m
breathing high up in my body. I’m on edge…”“And how do you feel when you’re excited?” his friend
continued.“Oh! It’s the same.”
So, from thenceforth, whenever he was preparing to go on
stage and the old stage fright would ramp up, he would just
say, “Jeepers, I’m excited.” And he’d be fine.
Try it the next time you’re feeling fear about a new
adventure. Just say to yourself, “Holy moly, I’m excited.”
Blessings,
William
P.S. Woof! That’s me doing a lot of heavy lifting
UPGRADING Body & Soul Mentor. I am really close to
launching the site on the July 24th at 6:00 AM PDT.
A favor: although, I think Body & Soul Mentor site it
terrific, I want to be sure I have included everything you
might want.
I have all my books, Laser Focused reports, and manuals on
the site available to members at zero cost.
I have the new videos posted. (Many wrote about how much
they liked the last one on Dave’s Knee.)
Moving, powerful podcasts are available for members.
You’ll find the stories and articles are organized
beautifully. I have IMPROVED guided tours available to
make it easy for people to get around.
In short, there are lots of goodies available to members
who will be glad to pay the low monthly fee of $14.97 or
$17.97… I haven’t decided yet.
But, this is where you come in… please take a couple of
minutes to respond to this SUPER SHORT survey. Really.
There are only two questions I need you to answer.
I you would be so kind …

P.P.S. Please pass this post on to anyone you think might
benefit from it.
I took voice lessons for a short time, quite a few years ago. My lasting lesson from my teacher was that “butterflies in the stomach” before a performance were simply building-up energy that did not yet have anywhere to flow. Her way of dealing with the “butterflies” was to pace the floor as she warmed up her voice–a trick I still use before the start of a workshop or important meeting.
And, once you move into a performance or a life change, that built-up energy naturally flows into the event, giving it a little extra burst of energy. Nice!
