人前でのあがりや緊張からカンタンに克服できる、たった1つの方法 | One Simple Way to Overcome Stage Fright | 裕道 森下 | TEDxUTokyoSalon
◆以下に動画の説明補足有り◆
冒頭では「手足のぶるぶるした震えを一瞬で止まる方法」も伝授。実は緊張やあがりを取るためには、「1つのこと」を意識するだけで良かった! 元あがり症が語る、聴衆者たちも納得した目からウロコの方法とは?! 面接、プレゼン、スピーチ、就職活動、転職、会議、PTA活動、恋愛、赤面にも効果絶大!
※森下裕道から動画についての補足。
「手足のぶるぶるした震えを一瞬で止まる方法」で、「なぜ、手足を大きく動かすと震えが止まるのか?」の説明を伝え忘れてしまったので、補足いたします。(当日の聴衆者たちにはスピーチ後のワーク時間で説明)人前での手足のぶるぶるした震えは、意識でコントロールできない「心の機能」だから震えを止めることができません。
しかし、手足を大きく動かすことは、意識でコントロールできる「体の機能」であるから、止めることができるはず。例えば、「座る」「歩く」「指をさす」など「体の機能」は、自分の意識でコントロールできますよね?
つまりは、自分の意識でコントロールできない「心の機能」を、自分の意識でコントロールできる「体の機能」に変えることによって、震えを止めることができるようになるのです!
◆Additional Notes About the Video◆
At the beginning of the video, I also share a quick trick to instantly stop shaky hands and feet caused by nervousness.
It turns out that overcoming stage fright and anxiety only requires focusing on one simple thing!
As someone who used to struggle deeply with public speaking, I reveal a surprising yet convincing method that left the audience nodding in agreement.
It’s incredibly effective for job interviews, presentations, speeches, job hunting, career changes, meetings, PTA activities, romantic situations, and even blushing.
※A note from Hiromichi Morishita regarding the video:
In the part where I talk about how to stop your hands and feet from trembling, I forgot to explain why moving your limbs dramatically helps calm the shaking. (I did go over this with the audience during the workshop time after the talk.)
When you're standing in front of people, the trembling in your hands and feet comes from a mental reaction—something you can’t consciously control.
But moving your limbs in a big, deliberate way is a physical action, and that’s something you can control. For example, actions like sitting down, walking, or pointing are all things you can intentionally do, right?
So, by shifting the focus from an involuntary mental reaction to a voluntary physical action, you take back control—and the trembling stops. Customer service/sales consultant/personal motivator.
