Streĉite, vi ne estas en via plej bona stato. Fakte, via cerbo evoluis dum jarmiloj por liveri kortisolon en streĉaj situacioj, inhibante racian, logikan pensadon sed helpante vin supervivi, ekzemple, ĉe leon-atako. Neŭrosciencisto Daniel Levitin pensas, ke ekzistas maniero eviti fari gravegajn erarojn ĉe streĉaj situacioj, kiam via penso iĝas konfuza: la tiel nomata tekniko pre-mortem. "Ni ĉiuj eraros iam tiam" , li diras. "Temas pri antaŭpensi tiujn eventualajn erarojn"
