The Performance Anxiety Journey
The anxiety before a presentation, an exam or an interview runs in a loop that repeats. In this journey you get to know your own loop and practise practical ways to handle it.
- 1 day to go
- Four short stations
The idea
Why does the anxiety come back before every big moment?
Because it runs in a loop: a situation sparks thoughts, the thoughts move your body, and your body pushes you into something that starts the loop again. It isn't a weakness — it's a known loop, and it has a key.
In the journey you write your loop in your own words, and it stays with you through the stations ahead.
Situation“A presentation in two days, in front of my managers”
Thoughts“I'll mess up and everyone will notice”
Body“My heart races and my hands sweat”
Behaviour“I put off preparing, or think about backing out”
The route

Each station is a short session you take at your own pace. You can stop and come back later without losing your progress.

Understanding it

Station 3
