The next time you get anxiety, try this out. Science shows that your body can't tell the difference between fear and excitement. That's because anxiety and excitement have the same physiological signature in your body, which is increased heart rate, sweaty palms, shallow breathing, dilated pupils, heightened alertness. But your brain decides the meaning. If you call it fear, then you'll freeze. If you call it excitement, you. You actually perform better. And psychologists call this anxiety reappraisal, which is reframing the nervous energy into excitement. And there was a study in 2014 by Harvard where they took people with anxiety and told them to say, I'm excited before giving a speech or taking a test. And in their studies, they found out that just that one phrase, I'm excited, repeated over and over again, made them perform better, made them feel more confident. And when they were speaking, they appeared more capable to the audience because their brain reinterpreted that stress as excitement. So I know this sounds crazy, but try it out. The next time that you feel anxious about something, close your eyes and say to yourself 10 times, I'm excited, and see how different you feel.
