How New Mentality can help
Feeling anxious before an exam, a big presentation, or a championship match is commo and for many people, it’s more than just “butterflies”. Physiologically, the brain shifts into threat mode: heart rate climbs, muscles tense, breaths shorten, and attention narrows to worst‑case outcomes rather than the task at hand. Psychologically, this shows up as racing thoughts (“I’ll fail,” “I’ll forget,” “Everyone will see me mess up”), blanking on rehearsed material, or over‑correcting every tiny mistake. In classrooms, this cycle is called test anxiety; on the field or stage, it’s performance anxiety. Both sap working memory and fine‑motor control at the exact moment precision and calm are needed most.
Innovative tools and technology
Our neurotherapist performs a neurophysiologic stress test, designed to measure heart rate variability, muscle tension, skin conductance and other physiological responses to gather a baseline of how the client’s body responds/reacts under pressure
We help with a range of very powerful tools like targeted mental‑skills training. Ranging from breathing drills and imagery to cognitive reframing and neurofeedback along with brain mapping assessments can break the spiral. These techniques teach the nervous system to ride the adrenaline wave instead of being swamped by it. Restores steady focus, quick recovery after a slip, and confidence that endures beyond a single event. In other words, mastering performance anxiety isn’t just about acing one test or match; it’s about building lifelong resilience whenever the stakes are high.

Tomorrow an Event, Test, or Competition?

Among athletes, prevalence studies show significantly higher rates of anxiety and depression than in the general population; Driven by relentless competition, public scrutiny, and fear of injury or failure. Left unchecked, this stress not only drags down scores or split‑times but can also lead to chronic burnout, sleep problems, and avoidance of future challenges.
