““Being scared and nervous means you care, and not only is caring a beautiful thing, but it also means you value the outcome of a situation. However, fear and nervousness become problematic when they affect your performance. Understanding when to adopt and abandon these feelings is an important first step in controlling them.

Don’t try to avoid these feelings altogether; rather, get comfortable with taking the outfit off when it’s time to execute.””
