Being "nervous"

Tweet

Being nervous is almost a thing of everybody. Not one single child or middle aged or adult has ever said he/she hasn't been into this kind of feeling. It's just a normal reaction of our mind that usually comes out when we are faced with a short-term challenge, be it in school, workplace, at home or anywhere else. As for me, I find being nervous beneficial in some ways. First off, it keeps you alert because the sympathetic nervous system is stimulated and so the heart pumps out more blood which carries with it the hormone epinephrine, essential for fight or flight response. Second, it keeps you awake because you tend to become so uncomfortable and is a good thing actually for racers on field and lastly, because you are nervous, you tend to find a way on how you could overcome it so the next time you feel it, you can easily get through it.
