Hello lybrate-user. General stress is something that?s nearly impossible to avoid in life. But as so many people have already said, there are techniques for calming your mind and living a more stress-free life. Drink water, exercise, get enough sleep, don?t drink gallons of coffee?these are all fantastic pieces of advice for living a better, calmer life. But what about right now? What about dealing with those specific, often key moments in life where our mouths dry up, our heart rate sky-rockets, and we get a sucker punch to the gut of stress? Whether it?s talking to your boss, playing an important sports match, or starting a new job, this sort of pre-performance stress can seriously hinder our happiness. But what if there were ways to rewire our brain to use stress to our advantage? To take those feelings of dread and anxiety and transform them into energy, excitement, and focus? Sounds like a dream, doesn't it? Lucky for us, new research is making it a reality. How to train your brain to use stress to your advantage When our brain feels stressed it releases a chemical called noradrenaline. Noradrenaline is one of these strange chemicals that is both equally amazing and terrible for us. On the one hand it increases arousal and alertness, promotes vigilance, enhances formation and retrieval of memory, and focuses attention. While on the other hand it also has a tendency to increase restlessness and anxiety. It?s no wonder we don?t function well with too much or too little of it. But, according to Ian Robertson, a cognitive neuroscientist at Trinity College Dublin and author of the upcoming book The Stress Test: How Pressure Can Make You Stronger and Sharper: ?There?s a sweet spot in the middle where if you have just the right amount, the goldilocks zone of noradrenaline, that acts like the best brain-tuner.? Effectively, noradrenaline helps the different areas of therein communicate smoothly while also making new neural connection. Which means that as long as we find ways to control and handle stress emotionally, it can actually be an incredible way to boost brain function, increase creativity, and ultimately (and somewhat ironically) become happier, less anxious, and less depressed. But the trick is just that: How do we change the way we deal with stressful situations so that we use them to our advantage instead of crippling us with anxiety? Thank You All The Best.
