Your body gets ready for action, even if you don’t know it. When there’s a big event coming up, like a test or a performance, your brain starts thinking about what could go wrong. This makes your heart race and your stomach feel funny, which is pre-event anxiety. It’s like when you’re about to ride a rollercoaster: you’re excited but also nervous, and that mix of feelings is normal.
Examples
- Your brain thinks you might fail your test, so it makes your hands shake and your heart race.
- Before a big speech, your stomach feels funny because you’re worried about tripping up.
- When you’re about to perform in front of a crowd, you feel like you might forget all your lines.
