Can you?

Raise your game

Rise to the occasion

Produce your best when under pressure

Or do you seize up

Freeze

Avoid the situation

Make excuses

So many go to great lengths to avoid pressure

Pressure is part of life, show us an animal in nature that does not know pressure of one kind or another

It is in the natural order of things

Instead of avoiding pressure

Learn to understand it better

Learn to understand yourself better

Pressure can be handled best when you acknowledge why you are frightened of it

For at the root of our avoiding mechanisms is fear

Fear of failure

Fear of ridicule

Fear of others

Enough fear and we avoid things which we should probably face

Do you avoid things?

Can you acknowledge this?

Or do you make excuses to yourself and others?

One way to help yourself over these fears is to observe that others, probably many thousands of others have done whatever it is before you

These people had your fears, nervousness and they overcame them

Now it is your turn to join them in succeeding in whatever challenge it is that you are facing

Just focus completely on what you need to know, what you need to do

Ask those who have done it before you

Prepare yourself correctly, no thoughts as to why you cannot, this is a waste of time

You are going to do it

Take yourself to a new level, a level of success

You can

But only you can decide this

No one but you
