My heart was just beating, it was a fanatic drum solo against my ribs. I felt like finally all those years of being called big head was finally manifesting cause it felt like the world came to work out in my head. I’ve always know that my palms could get sweaty but now it felt like a tsunami was brewing on them this time around. It wasn’t a life or death experience just a presentation that I was about to make in front a crowd. Yet if felt like I was about to take on a fight as old as time.
For years I’ve treated this feeling as the enemy I saw stress as a flaw in my design and resented it. I’ve tried meditating and every other experience that I’ve found online to no avail. I’ve fought it, resented it, and let the guilt of feeling it pile on top of the stress itself. I was losing the battle and the battlefield was my own mind.
I’ve always said tho I wish I listen to my own words more often. Every single minute is another opportunity to change your life. So i deep reflected and asked myself ; what if stress isn’t the enemy ? What if it’s raw, undirected energy? What if the pressure wasn’t a force meant to crush me , but propel me ? This began my journey to reframe my relationship with stress, and it led me to a powerful physiological concept: The Yerkes-Dodson law. In simple terms it’s the idea that performance increases with physiological or mental arousal but only to a point tho. So in the absence of stress we get bored and disengaged if it gets too much we tip to anxiety and burnout. But you see the middle that’s what we should aim for it’s the golden zone, in that zone stress becomes the engine of peak performance.
