The Importance of Calmness in Problem Solving

Maintaining a calm state of mind is crucial for effective decision-making and problem-solving. When stressed, the body releases cortisol, which can impair creativity and lead to poor choices. In high-pressure situations, prioritizing calmness allows for better clarity and more effective decisions. Thus, refraining from making important decisions while under stress is essential for achieving positive outcomes.
