Feeling anxious? Say these 3 words

Nova Podcasts
About this episode

Researchers found that when people were encouraged to say "I feel excited" instead of "I feel anxious" it had a positive effect on their performance! You're basically reframing an emotional event, to see it as a positive rather than a negative! We’ll talk you through how to do it, and hopefully chill your vibe next time you feel nerves and worry creeping up.
