Have you ever noticed that there are some things that you do during every second of every day in your life without even thinking about them? For example, regardless of who we are or where we are, we also breathe, blink and think alongside whatever other tasks we are engaged in.
Have you also noticed that whenever we begin to think about these actions or analyse them, these seemingly involuntary activities become considerably more difficult? For instance, if you were to count how many breaths you take in a minute, you’d suddenly find the process of breathing oddly unnatural.
While this may seem like a rather strange occurrence, it is actually quite common. In fact, we may all have experienced it at some point in our lives in different ways. This is the same phenomenon that manifests itself in the form of stage fright. It is the same phenomenon that results in a complete loss of all the information that you studied, right when you are seated to write an important exam. It is also the same phenomenon that results in professional sports persons failing to perform well despite practicing with great intensity for years.
