An introduction to this lesson
Successful people have one thing in common that separates them from the rest; their ability to manage, influence and be in control of how they feel most of the time. This separates them from the ‘average’.
CORE SKILLS TAUGHT IN THIS LESSON:

Learn breathing techniques to Diffuse nerves, anxiety and stress

Identify their Performance Learning Emotions and learn how to manage them

Gain an understanding of the science behind emotions and their cause and effects
The Performance Learning® Psychology You Will Adopt:
The earlier a learner can understand how to manage and reduce the underperformance that comes with stress, strain and pressure, the sooner they will start producing even more outstanding results in their schoolwork.
Stress can cause your body to have physical reactions:
- heart rate increasing
- blood pressure going up
- muscles tensing
A major part of stress is your mindset which is what is addressed in this lesson.

Reducing Stress Levels
Hear from these learners about how their Performance Learning Lessons helped them to reduce their stress and learn methods to manage and overcome anxieties.
