Chapter 4: Commit Beforehand
An easy way to build bravery is to make commitments that do not call for much bravery to swallow but that call for substantial bravery to carry out.
Decide
Once you place yourself on record, you will tend to carry out what you said you would do. Little commitments may help you overpower complacency and build up substantial bravery. During my beginning few months as a member of a local oral presentation club, I chose to enter a funny speech competition. I had never contended in a grownup speech competition previously, however when I was asked if I wanted to take part, it didn’t take much bravery for me to state, “certainly, I’ll do it.”
As the competition date got closer, all the same, I started to second- guess my decisiveness: What in the world have I gotten myself into here? However as I was already committed to the competition, I carried out what I said and did my finest.
Bracing myself for every round of competition was difficult work, but I had a lot of fun and likely gained ground on my oral presentation skills by the equivalent of eight to twelve months of steady club attendance. Following that beginning contest season, I felt much more surefooted and brave as a speaker, and I moved on to compete in other speech competitions.
I’m certain I wouldn’t be as well-situated with oral presentation nowadays if I hadn’t committed to that beginning contest several years ago. All it required to get rolling was to open my mouth and state, “I will do it.”
Rather than putting off your concerns, make a commitment to confront them.
If you are afraid of oral presentation, commit to handing a speech. If you’re afraid of altitudes, enroll in a rock-climbing course. If you’re afraid of getting in the water, sign on for swim lessons. Remember that whatsoever you dread, you have to sooner or later confront, including dying itself.
