Why You Freeze When It Matters Most
Author: Nigel Edwards
What’s your version of ‘freezing’? (Glitchy brain? Shaky voice? Perfectionism paralysis?
The meeting room went silent.
Finally it was my turn to present.
My mouth opened—and nothing came out.
Not nerves, not a croak… just humiliating silence.
Waiting for my brain to kick in and allow me to get on with it.
But nothing..
It seemed like it was for ages.
Afterward, I told myself I ‘choked under pressure.’
What I learned years later? My unconscious mind was ‘protecting’ me from imagined failure by shutting me down entirely.
I had felt like an imposter.
A Pinocchio moment.. Who was i kidding, I felt that I was not good enough..
Now I teach performers and anyone who has to stand up and talk how to override that sabotage so their talent can shine.
Performance anxiety isn’t a personality trait—it’s a program you can change.
