The Neuroscience of Peak Performance Under Pressure
2
We’ve all experienced the flight/fight/freeze response when under extreme pressure, but these responses don’t serve us well when we need to perform at our best. Imagine taking back control of your brain so you are always ready to perform when pressure is at its peak. If you can focus beBer, think faster and remember more, you can turn the the energy exerted on your stress response to increased effecDveness, stamina and performance. We all perform beBer under a bit of pressure, but when faced with severe or chronic stress, our autonomic nervous system conspires against us, triggering a hormonal response that impairs our ability to organise our thoughts, access our working memory, concentrate, control our emoDons and make good, objecDve decisions. NeuroscienDsts have discovered that everyday stress can have devastaDng impacts on our health. Under sustained stress, increased levels of adrenaline and corDsol suppress the operaDon of our immune system, increasing our suscepDbility to infecDon and the risk of contracDng heart disease, stroke and early onset demenDa.
