Pretty intense, right. Today, we can find ourselves reacting to the pressure of taking a driving test and having to parallel park, do they still teach that? However it is with the same internal reactions as if something truly threatening (like a tiger !) were chasing us…

In fact, common modern-day triggers for heightened stress include lack of exercise, sleep, downtime, and even physical tension – things we all tend to experience semi-regularly.
