Let’s be honest — choking under pressure sucks. You spend weeks, months, even years preparing for a competition or presentation, but then suddenly you find yourself undone by the stress when it’s time to perform. Luckily, there’s an explanation for why this happens, and cognitive scientist Sian Leah Beilock even has some psychological tools to help us out. Sian studies a phenomenon called overattention, or paralysis by analysis. It’s the theory that we choke under pressure because we are so concerned about performing our best that we concentrate too much and try to control aspects of the situation that we’re capable of handling on autopilot. So what can you do about it? Try to unhook your brain from the over-analyzing cycle. Sing a song beforehand, focus your attention on your pinky toe, or find some other mindless activity to distract yourself. Visit go.ted.com/underpressure for two more tips from Sian, and we’d love to hear your own advice in the comments!
