  <title>Performing Under Pressure with Stuntman Psychologist Dr. Brian Hite</title>
  <description>Brian Hite, Ph.D., is a seasoned professional with over 40 years of experience in performance, psychology, and coaching. He has a rich background as a stuntman and coordinator in film and TV, an adjunct faculty member at Grand Canyon University, and a performance psychology consultant for the U.S. Army. He holds a Bachelor's in Psychology, a Master's in Sport Psychology, and a Ph.D. in Organizational Psychology, along with certifications as a Certified Mental Performance Consultant®, Certified Leadership Coach, and Certified Executive Coach. Brian founded Begin Again Performance Psychology to enhance the mental strength and well-being of athletes, performers, and business leaders. &amp;amp;nbsp; Key Takeaways   The Four Phases of Performance: Brian breaks down performance into before, right before, during, and after phases. Mastering the &amp;quot;right before&amp;quot; phase, when emotions and energy can spiral, is crucial for success.   Achieving the Ideal Performance State: Brian uses breath control, progressive muscle relaxation, mental imagery, and attentional focus on the first 2 seconds of the task to get into the zone or &amp;quot;bubble.&amp;quot;   Nervousness and Excitement are Physiologically the Same: The difference lies in perceiving the situation as a threat or challenge. Framing the energy positively allows you to use it to your benefit.   Eastern Philosophy and Western Psychology Overlap: Both emphasize the mind-body connection and achieving optimal mental states. Embracing this connection can lead to more flow experiences.   Three Keys to Personal Change: Develop self-awareness of thoughts, emotions and their influence. Accept current reality. Take self-regulatory action to make positive changes.   &amp;amp;nbsp; Sponsors and Promotions: &amp;amp;nbsp; Lumen:&amp;amp;nbsp; Unlock your metabolic potential with Lumen, the world's first handheld metabolic coach; visit lumen.me and use code DIVINE to get $100 off.
