Nervousness is like your body’s way of getting ready for a big event. Imagine you’re about to run a race, your brain thinks, ‘This might be tough!’ So it sends out messages to make your heart beat faster and your muscles tense up, just in case you need to move quickly. This helps you feel alert and ready to do your best.
Examples
- Before a math test, your heart pounds like it’s about to run a race.
- A singer feels their hands shake before going on stage.
- You forget what you’re supposed to say during your big presentation.
