Anxiety Reappraisal and Neurohacking for Confidence & Performance
Description
I'm sharing with you what is probably my favourite neuro-hack that researchers are discussing, and that my clients and I have been using to overcome anxiety-provoking situations (which are holding you back more than you even realise, by the way).
We discuss two new concepts that could be your new BFFs: eustress and anxiety reappraisal. Backed by science, you're introduced to one simple shift in your narrative that has been proven to help you elevate your confidence and performance by working with anxious or stressed energy to your benefit.
