For example, your fear of dogs as a child made your subconscious mind categorize all dogs as threats. Even if you\u2019ve consciously decided that most dogs are safe, you\u2019ll still feel the rush of your high stress levels and hormones each time you see one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/compassionworks.com\/how-stress-blocks-thinking\/#:~:text=Interpretation%3A%20When%20there%20is%20excessive,experience%20to%20give%20it%20perspective.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>High stress levels compel you to act irrationally<\/strong><\/a>: When you feel stress, <em>your amygdala acts as if you\u2019re in danger<\/em>\u2014it ensures that you respond automatically to threats by inhibiting the thinking part of your brain (the hippocampus). This makes it difficult for you to think objectively about what you\u2019re experiencing\u2014thus leading to irrational responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Continuing with the preceding example, while you <em>consciously know<\/em> that most dogs are safe, you\u2019re unable to access the part of your brain that holds this knowledge. As a result, you give in to your instinctive fear and automatically carry out your \u201cirrational\u201d defensive pattern. This behavior is irrational because you consciously know that there\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/nothing-to-fear\/\">nothing to fear<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Emotional Freedom Technique<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re concerned about your high stress levels, there are steps you can take to alleviate them and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-improve-your-overall-health\/\">improve your health<\/a>.
