Do you have stage fright?
It's a beautiful Saturday afternoon here on my end , I had a splendid night, though I wasn't sleeping during the night,we had an all night vigil in church, and it was awesome, I personally haven't missed any vigil In this year this is the second one so far and I hope and pray I don't miss any.
So yea,do you have stage fright?, Well I do.i almost shit my pants yesterday night, i happen to be among the choisters in church, and last year I was given the task of making the roaster for 2022bmtaisevand worship leader ,which is normally done yearly by another sister, but. Sadly she left the choir, and I had the mantle given to me to do it, though I have been a member of this church for seven year going on to eight years now , I wasn't added to the praise leaders cause they have a strict rule guiding that aspect of the choir. But during our last meeting of the year 2021, there was a shuffle of things, I was asked to make the roaster and I and some other members of the choir like @JessicaOssom haven't been partaking in the praise leading , but for this year after been asked to include our names on the roaster , I was overjoyed and frightened at the same time. So eventually I put in our names for during vigil period , so as to enable us improve ourselves for the next level.
My turn came yesterday , though I had written down some songs I would be singing I even prayed along with it, but on mounting the stage yesterday all the song listed on my note didn't seem right I was scared at some point , and at one point I started singing offkey not because I didn't know how to sing but because if the fright in me. But one mind was just telling me to keep on, that I can do it and I did it .
How did I overcome this stage fright .?
I blocked out every thought , negative thoughts that were coming to my mind , I zeroed my attention only on the song ,though the first 3songs I sang weren't offkey but I quickly picked myself up and concertrated on the song coming to my mind
If I can over that fright there in the stage you too can do it. Really. Yes I know you can.
Just concertrated on what you are doing and all the fright will disappear.
