How To Control Emotions Under Pressure
The key to controlling emotions under pressure lies in building flexibility into the brain by practicing in various physical and noisy conditions prior to high-stakes situations. It's about getting better at performing while experiencing intense sensations rather than making the sensation go away. Practicing awe for five minutes a day can help give the nervous system a moment to reset in stressful situations. Simulating extreme conditions authentically rather than just imagining them can also help in preparing for high-pressure scenarios.
