The next time you’re under a lot of pressure to perform, don’t choke - whistle instead.
According to Dr. Guy Winch, author of “Emotional First Aid,” whistling is a very effective method to get us through a pressure situation. Dr. Winch says it works best when playing sports but can come in hand at other times too.
Whistling requires just enough brainpower to distract the part of your mind that might otherwise overthink things. If you’re in a situation where whistling might seem inappropriate, try humming very softly instead. It’s a little less conspicuous and can help stave off that performance choke.
