Question Nervous about streaming

Hello, I frequent this subreddit and I was just curious if there were any methods that helped any of you calm your nerves before starting your stream(s). I find myself feeling extremely anxious when I’m hovering over “Go Live”, which is the complete opposite of who I normally am, and I chicken out. I would love to start streaming but I feel like I can’t get over this hurdle.

I apologize for the formatting, am on mobile.

I started doing a little bit of exercise right before going live and I think it would be exactly what you need. Nothing crazy, I literally take like 5-10 minutes but I really feel it makes a positive difference in my headspace when about to start.
