How To Calm Down Fast When You're Stressed
Why do you sometimes freeze under pressure, snap back in a meeting, or avoid tough conversations altogether? The answer lies in your fight, flight, or freeze response—an ancient survival system that still controls how your brain under pressure reacts today.
In this video, we’ll break down:✅ What happens in your brain during fight, flight, or freeze✅ Why your stress response hijacks your ability to think clearly✅ Real-life examples of fight, flight, and freeze in the workplace✅ Proven neuroscience-backed strategies to stay calm and confident under stress✅ How The CLEAR Method™ helps ambitious professionals master performance in high-stakes situations
When the amygdala triggers a stress response, adrenaline and cortisol flood your body, pulling blood flow away from your prefrontal cortex—the part of your brain responsible for decision-making and clear thinking. That’s why you blank out, stumble, or react emotionally in critical moments. Research shows working memory can drop by 12–15% under stress, making it harder to perform at your best.But the good news? You can rewire your brain to respond differently. With the right tools—like box breathing, reframing stress, practicing under pressure, and resilience-building habits—you can keep your brain under pressure online and turn stress into a performance advantage.
