Fantastic!

What a great insight into the physical mind how we react when we’re feeling stress in any given scenario. I just like to say thank you for this great pod-cast, I have learnt a lot from this episode. I understand the scientific elements of stress barricades your ultimate goal and how you perceive this notion and how to overcome it. think much practicing into this area will help you overcome such fears, and resilient until you reach the level of fluency and master it. It’s a very important subject to those who feel this tendency of weakness i think it’s inevitable to avoid this feeling but as the saying goes practice makes perfect until you reach the level of confidence.
