Energy regulation

Performers can gain knowledge on energy levels and see some examples. It also gives the performer room to explore their own optimal arousal level.

Attentional control

Attentional control can be broken down into 4 different types of focus. This worksheet explains these 4 focus types, gives some examples for performers, and allows the performer to take some time to practice finding their focus.

Goal setting

Goal setting is important for performers, exercisers and those looking to make lifestyle changes. Learn about the S.M.A.R.T goals and create your own!

Imagery

Imagery can be beneficial in growing a performer's confidence, lessening fear and decreasing pre-performance anxiety.

Mindfulness

Mindfulness is more than meditation and breathing. Find out more about meditation, its benefits and techniques on how to practice.
