I usually require excitement, energy and a nervous belly heading into the situation or performance. Once I am in there things begin to settle and a sense of calm happens if I feel prepared.
If it is a situation or performance that I am unprepared for all the same things occur but the sense of calm is never achieved.
Yes, that is a good point how you brought up situations in which you are unprepared and the sense of calm is never achieved. Preparation is so important, even if that means preparing how much emotion is connected to a given situation. It's excellent you have identified what your arousal needs to be for most situations. Thank you for sharing!
