Nervous Before the Big Gig? Five Ways to DeStress

Feeling stressed about anything at all but especially before you start a gig or facilitated event?

Take JUST five minutes of your time today — Here are my five “fav” destress before the big “gig” techniques  demonstrated in this short video.  Each one takes two minutes or less. Result: You are grounded, feeling present, able to process more things simultaneously and less likely to be triggered by unhelpful group or participant behavior.  Some of these techniques can be done throughout your facilitated sessions if you find yourself  unnerved, frustrated, unconfident or even panicked!
