Physicist Leonard Mlodinow says controlling emotions is critical for good decision-making
“We usually can’t control or change that person any more than we can banish the rain, so getting angry at either is equally silly,” says Mlodinow.
Your brain goes through a complicated process to interpret everything that happens to you. Psychologists call it “appraisal.” It means that your brain makes sense of what just happened and, as a result, develops an emotion around it. When it comes to public speaking, reappraising the event can give you a boost of confidence. Many people are stricken with anxiety before giving a presentation because they’ve created an internal narrative about the event that often isn’t based on objective fact.
Mldoinow says that even if your negative thoughts don’t go away completely, reappraising the situation will fill you with positive emotions that help you perform your best. Expression means that the act of talking about or writing down your emotion about an event changes the way you feel about it.
