This poster is titled ‘The new science of embracing performance anxiety’. The first step says ‘Develop a routine’. ‘Having a pre-planned series of actions gives you something to focus on so your mind can’t wander and become anxious’. ‘Consistently practicing pre-performance routines reduced anxiety and increased performance.’ ‘The elements of the routine itself don’t really matter, what does matter is that you design a series of steps that makes you feel good, and that you practice it enough so that you become comfortable with it. The second step is to ‘reframe anxiety as an excitement’. ‘When try to suppress those pre-race nerves, you are inherently telling yourself that something is wrong’. ‘Instead of trying to calm yourself down, reappraise pre-performance anxiety as excitement’. ‘The sensations you feel prior to a big event are neutral - if you view them in a positive light, they are more likely to have a positive impact on your performance. The final step instructs to ‘change your body to change your mind’. ‘Body language has a huge impact on how you feel about yourself. Prior to big events, open yourself up and make yourself big’. ‘If you hold your body like you’re confident and in charge, your mind is likely to follow’. The poster concludes, ‘Perhaps the best part of these tactics is that they are not mutually exclusive. They are most effective when used together, and they work across almost all pursuits - whether that’s prepping for an Olympic race or getting ready for your first 5K'.
