5.Visualization is closely related to positive thinking.It is used by athletes,musicians,actors,speakers,and others to improve their performance in stressful situations.How does it work?Listen to long-distance runner Vicki Huber:Right before a big race,I'll picture myself running,and I will try and put all of the other competitors in the race into my mind.Then I will try and imagine every possible situation I might find myself in…behind someone,being pushed,different positions on the track,laps to go,and,of course the final part.And I always picture myself winning the race,no matter what happens during the event.
Of course,Huber doesn't win every race she runs,but research has shown that the kind of mental imaging she describes can significantly increase athletic performance.It has also shown that visualization can help speakers control their stage fright.
The key to visualization is creating a vivid mental blueprint in which you see yourself succeeding in your speech.Picture yourself in your classroom rising to speak.See yourself at the lectern(放演讲稿的讲桌),self-assured,making eye contact(接触)with your audience and delivering your introduction in a firm,clear voice.Feel your confidence growing as your listeners get more and more caught up in what you are saying.Imagine your sense of achievement as you conclude the speech knowing you have done your very best.
As you create these images in your mind's eye,be realistic but stay focused on the positive aspects of your speech.Don't allow negative images to affect the positive ones.Acknowledge your nervousness,but picture yourself overcoming it to give an effective presentation.If one part of the speech always seems to give you trouble,visualize yourself getting through it without any problems.And be specific.The clearer your mental pictures,the more successful you are likely to be.
As with your physical rehearsal(排练)of the speech,this kind of mental rehearsal should be repeated several times in the days before you speak.It doesn't guarantee that every speech will turn out exactly the way you imagine it-and it certainly is no replacement for thorough preparation.But it is a proven way to help control your nerves and to make a successful presentation.
