Ruwando Podcast: Psychology For Men with Brains and Balls

How to change your stress response | 201


Listen Later

Why do you get nervous? Do you “choke” in important moments? i.e. Meeting someone you’re attracted to, public speaking, conflict or competition?

How to “conquer your inner weakness” really comes down to how to change your stress response.

The episode breaks down how to change your stress response. We’ll start with the biologically process of acute stress, and how to “practice right emotions” so the next time you’re faced with an important moment— in business, love, or life— you’ll have a winning response, rather than a self-sabotaging one.
