Topics
Matt Abrahams:公开演讲焦虑是人类普遍现象,源于进化过程中对群体地位的关注。虽然焦虑难以避免,但我们可以学习管理焦虑,从而提升自信,并帮助听众更好地集中注意力。 Aaliyah Crum:应对沟通焦虑的关键在于改变我们对压力的看法,从将其视为威胁转变为将其视为挑战。研究表明,压力可以提升表现,积极的心态能够帮助我们更好地应对压力,并从压力中获益。 Andrew Huberman:焦虑的生理反应(肾上腺素/去甲肾上腺素)旨在促使行动。在需要保持静止的场合(如公开演讲),可以通过身体活动(如前后摇摆)来缓解焦虑。此外,改变对焦虑的认知框架,将焦虑视为积极的信号,也能帮助我们更好地应对。 Baba Shiv:在重要的沟通场合之前,放松身心至关重要,这可以通过冥想、想象积极的场景、甚至假装大笑等方式来实现。此外,保证充足的睡眠和良好的饮食也有助于提升沟通表现,避免大脑处于风险规避状态。 Matt Abrahams: 公开演讲的焦虑感源于我们进化过程中对社会地位的敏感性。在远古时期,个体的地位直接关系到生存,而公开演讲则会暴露个体在群体中的地位,从而引发焦虑。然而,这种焦虑并非无法克服,我们可以学习管理焦虑,提升自信,并使听众更专注于我们的信息,而不是我们的焦虑。 Aaliyah Crum: 我们对压力的认知决定了我们如何应对压力。传统观点认为压力有害,但实际上,压力也可以增强我们的认知功能和生理机能。通过改变心态,将压力视为挑战而非威胁,我们可以利用压力提升表现。这需要我们认识到压力与我们所关心的事情息息相关,并利用压力来实现目标。 Andrew Huberman: 焦虑的生理反应,如肾上腺素分泌,旨在促使行动。在需要保持静止的场合,这种生理反应会加剧焦虑。我们可以通过轻微的身体活动来释放这种能量,例如在演讲开始时向前迈步。此外,改变对焦虑的认知框架,将焦虑视为一种积极的信号,也可以帮助我们更好地控制焦虑。 Baba Shiv: 在重要的沟通场合,放松身心至关重要。这可以通过各种放松技巧来实现,例如冥想、想象积极的场景,甚至假装大笑。此外,充足的睡眠和健康的饮食可以帮助我们保持最佳状态,避免大脑处于风险规避模式,从而更好地应对沟通挑战。
