it's never been proven or even accepted, that if you're feeling some kind of negative tension or pressure or overwhelm, to simply avoid thinking about it. The actual gold standard treatment is to actually feel it, to flood your body with it and to go at it.

“Don't just go for a job. Don't just go look for what the wanted ads are saying, or what the posts are saying online. Go for something that sets your heart on fire. What is your calling? Where do you really belong? What do you love to do? Start to write that down.”

It's actually proven through data. You start to lose your focus and all of a sudden you're making mistakes you wouldn't normally make if you weren't facing pressure.

There's a great phrase. It says, "You can't get the blessing without the test." In other words, if there is no test, there is no blessing.

Blacks aren't as smart as whites, Women are bad at math, and Asians can't drive
Unfortunately, the list of negative stereotypes are endless.

Have you had to do something like, a big speech, or pass an entrance exam, or handle a negotiation and you look cool on the surface but your stomach is turning in knots?

I love Michael Jordan. I do! I'm a huge fan but understand when the pressure was on, his performance actually went down

I read recently that performance anxiety affects us all. It doesn't matter if you're a superstar athlete or a high powered CEO or trying to get back on your feet after a layoff. Our "nerves" can reek havoc on our performance.

You may have heard the phrase; "Practice makes perfect". But have you heard the re-boot?
"Practice doesn't make perfect.  Perfect practice makes perfect."
While I'm not a fan of aiming for perfection...there is some validity to this statement.

Do you ever wonder what it would be like to be super human?

To be able to do the seemingly impossible.
