Are you stressed? Turn off that fire!

There are people who only mention them words stress, anxiety, nerves... already are fatal. It is a common evil of our society. Athletes and people foot say that they frightened when the heart-pounding them quickly without apparent reason, when they have tremors or lack them the breath. Stress causes the activation of a series of physiological responses that can be misunderstood and confused with "is giving me a heart attack", "I'm going to lose control", "I have something very serious, I'm dying". Also accompanied by difficulty sleep, stiffness in legs and arms, and many other symptoms that witness in the stomach, skin, vision and even sexual response (stay calm, gatillazo most come because of anxiety problems, and not because you have a biological difficulty maintaining the erection).

We live with these symptoms on a daily basis. They are the signs of anxiety and stress. When you perceive them means that your nervous system is activated and that he is trying to defend itself from any threat.What is a threat to you, may not be to your opponent or your neighbor. Why our nervous in this way, if a priori system responds makes us feel bad, and not help us? Because the response of fear comes in our genes from the man lived in caves, for thousands of years. In the caves, the beast was the threat, and the response that allowed the man to survive, was the fear. The brain received the warning signal when the man identified the mammoth (mammoth endangered the life of man, the female and their offspring who was in the cave) and the brain sent a signal to the sympathetic nervous system so that it is activated. How to defend against a beast? The brain was an assessment very fast I have personal resources to fight against the mammoth and win? If the answer was Yes, he attacked. If the answer was no, he fled, leaving IE running. Both the struggle to escape, he needed the heart to beat faster, blood be distributed to peripheral muscles, will accelerate the pulse and respiration... the same response that gives our body when it does physical exercise.

Stress and anxiety are your friends, you need them to survive. But do not need them to dangers that do not threaten your life. Imagine you're going down the street and someone approaches with bad intentions. You will need to run, or ask for help, ultimately, get safe. If you're completely relaxed, you would not have reaction capacity. Therefore, the anxiety and stress continue to be your allies. But you must decide when they have to activate and when not. Ultimatelyit is you who decides what your battles.

If convert the day after day in a continuing threat, if public speaking is dangerous, if linking you ashamed, if you behold the work as a "stressor" interview, if the traffic you freak out, waiting in a queue despair you or get ready for this career... your world will be full of "stressors" that will cause you anxiety.

You need a trigger level that will allow you to compete well, be in a State of wakefulness and answer the questions of the interview, but you have to learn to regulate you. Search your rhythm in life and in sport. That pace that allows you to be effective, but that you do not block.
