just breathe :) i actually do this mental exercise, and it really helps me. remember, you're only going to be on stage for about 3-5 min, it'll go by sooooo fast! and when its done you're probably going to be sad that its over. so train your brain to savor the thought of being on stage. think to yourself how fleeting it is, and that you need to relish every second, because in almost a heart beat it'll be gone, and the moment becoming a distant memory. think to yourself over and over that you need to crave every second of the stage, and enjoy being up there while it lasts. doing this mental exercise repeatedly helps me conquer the stage fright! tell yourself often enough that you love it...and you start to!
Thank you for this tip. I am going to put it to good use. You're right, might as well enjoy the moment instead of stressing. :)
