Prepare mentally

So much of our preparation starts in our minds. We think about what we want to say. We think about our audience and we should be thinking about their positive response.
We can succeed or fail all in our mind. That sounds scary but it is true.
If I am anticipating a differ cult audience I need to prepare myself mentally.
I must affirm myself with positive am motivating statements like"I can do this".
If I dwell of the negative stuff I will be defeated. Not only that but my entire presentation may lack passion and punch.
So, I was just thinking about this point this evening and wanted to share it with you.
