How to feel calm during launches?

25
I think it's impossible to be totally calm. But it's better to be excited than nervous. For me, it helps to know that I did my best to prepare for the launch. We'll be live next week. Here's our Teaser https://www.producthunt.com/prod...

Staying calm during a launch is like asking a cat not to knock things off the table. Not gonna happen! 😂 But seriously, I love the idea of channeling all that nervous energy into excitement. And when you know you’ve prepped as much as humanly possible, it’s a little easier to kick back and say, ''Alright, let’s see what happens!'' Worst case, if things go off-script, at least you’ll have an interesting story to tell later!

As we like to say – we're cooking the product until it boils over 😄. Excitement means you care, and every launch is a new adventure! The key is knowing you've done your best, and for the tension – a few deep breaths before hitting the 'launch' button can work wonders. Good luck to everyone launching soon!

Wish I knew 😅 I've been tense ever since I've started working on it

I like tapping to release anxiety. For me I found that this works amazing. Plus, yes, just preparing to it.

Just relax and let things happen. You've done all you can do before the launch and now the only thing you and your team need to do is to wait for the feedback of your users.

Totally agree with the idea that excitement and nerves often go hand in hand during launches! For me, it helps to remind myself that no launch is perfect, and any hiccup is just part of the journey. Preparing as much as possible beforehand is key, but after that - it's about enjoying the ride and learning from whatever comes next. Deep breaths and keeping perspective always help!

Be prepared, do your best. There will always be things that could be done better,

I guess the best thing you can do is enjoying it!! Don't overestimate it and make it bigger in your head than needed. :)

Same question! 😵 I think it's the mixture of excitement, anxiety, and expectation that makes it super impossible to remain calm down! 😣😣😣 I agree with you that, at the end of the day, everyone has done their best in preparing to launching their product... and once that realisation kicks in, that's when your mind gradually calms down... or so I think 😅

Have a walk and stay away from the network.

Staying calm during a launch is like trying to meditate in a room full of hyperactive squirrels who've just discovered a lot of caffeine pills 😂

Yep! If you've done all you can, there's nothing else to do but bite your nails and hide in the corner.. haha!
Deep breathing encourages full oxygen exchange, helping to slow down your heart rate and stabilize blood pressure, thereby reducing stress and anxiety.

Launching day is just hard to keep calm.

I agree with you. Taking deep breaths and visualizing a successful launch can also soothe our nerves. Also, sharing our concerns with a supportive team or friends can provide some relief.

Asking the same question haha. I guess have a team that’s going through it with you can help a lot
