Committing to a ritual will help you feel more natural in front of the camera and rock your lives. [15:54] Set an alarm 10 minutes prior to going live and get in the zone.

[18:19] Your mindset will affect your energy for live videos. If you're distracted and don't take the time to get excited about your live video, your audience will know.
