How does nervousness impact focus? When our amygdala is activated, which happens anytime we pause or hesitate we risk losing focus. The Amygdala is there to protect us from harm. It alerts our bodies for fight, flight or freeze. So when we hesitate or feel nervous or anxious it pokes it’s head up and says “what’s here?” When this happens we naturally (our body – internal system) wants to calm down so it begins to engage in what will calm us – move us away from what is the perceived threat.
Here are a couple of links to You Tube Videos with Barbara Sher looking at it through her lens.
