Imagine your body is like a superhero preparing for battle. When you’re about to do something important, like giving a speech or taking an exam, your brain sends out signals that make your heart beat faster and your muscles tense up, it’s like your body is getting ready to fight or run away. This is called the fight-or-flight response.
Examples
- You feel your heart race before going on stage for the first time.
- Your palms get sweaty right before giving an important presentation.
- You can't think straight when you're about to take a big test.
