Jake Burhans explains how stress shuts down the brain's creative centers and floods your body with fight-or-flight energy instead. When you're stressed, you can't think clearly or perform well on presentations and sales calls. Staying calm keeps you creative and sharp.
And then the other component is that because you are in that fight or flight state, you are not able to access creativity. You can't think clearly. You're at work and everything just feels super difficult. You can't think about anything, right? You're agitated, you're snapping at people, you have no energy. You can't really execute that well either. Your presentation is going to suck, your sales calls are going to suck. Um, you know, you, you're not able to operate at your full capacity because intuitively and creatively because all of your energy is where? It's not in your brain. It's not in your head. It's down at your extremities because you need to go freaking run twice as fast as you ever have in your life. That's what your body thinks you need to do. You don't need to do that. So, um, and yeah, we want to be in this creative state of being all the time. So that's why staying in this creative state is the key for your success in anything that you're doing. No matter what you're doing, you're an entrepreneur, you're building a business, You know, you're at work, you're with your family, your relationships. We always want to be in this creative, peaceful state of being.
