He's actually connecting it to some sort of physical reality rather than just saying, I see outside this window, a tree, right?
Like if you go, have you ever noticed that tree?
That one right there.
And the other thing is to root it in the other person.
So I think if you're trying to get them to do something like, listen, look out the window, take a deep breath,
Making sure that they are actually doing that thing and creating the space for it, that will make it, again, feel like it is real and in the moment because you actually can't plan for how long or exactly how they do that thing.
So those are some of the little tricks that I use.
It's not like I always am able to conquer my social anxiety, but in the settings where I can, right, like in performance and in moderation or in an interview or those kinds of things.
One is I can conquer it because I've done it a bunch.
And so I have given myself that kind of exposure therapy of knowing that, like, if you get up on stage and you try and make people laugh and they don't laugh, you're still alive the next day.
And you know what?
It doesn't ruin your life.
And most of those people don't even remember who you were 14 minutes after they leave the room, much less two days.
So one is exposing myself to it.
The other is I try and rather than like talk myself into feeling a certain way, I try and get my body first.
So like I try and get my body excited.
So I will like literally like jump up and down, kind of like skip before I go on stage.
And then I will like literally bounce up and down and say like, I think I saw this in a
a movie about Muhammad Ali, but I go like from the root to the fruit, from the root to the fruit, float like a butterfly, sing like a bee.
But like it transforms that nervousness into excitement for me.
