Nervousness Vs Excitement

Mind doesn’t know the difference between anxiety and nervousness. So what label you give to your mind is what makes the difference, it’s a very similar emotion.

What are the emotions/ stimulus and signs for nervousness?

• Your Heart Beat goes up
• You visualize the future
• Your hands get clammy

Now surprisingly this is the exact same thing that happens when you are excited to, you bet?

So the meaning we give to our thoughts is what we experience.

If you ever watched the athletes, they always say that I am excited, before or after the game. They trained their mind that the above three things are signs of excitement.
