Today, being nervous, what's that all about? Right? Well, I think there are two things to understand about being nervous.
First of all is, it's physiological. Oh, there's a fancy word.
Physiological means it's a body reaction, right? So, when you have stress or you're in an uncomfortable situation, your body reacts, right?
Similar to if it's hot, you sweat. It's physiological, you can't stop it.
So, when you're, you have stress, right, well, your body reacts, it releases a hormone called adrenaline. Your heart beats faster, your breathing speeds up, you may start to sweat.
