Fight or Flight

When our minds perceive a threat, the sympathetic nervous system takes over, instantly putting our body into high alert and adrenaline is pumped to all key parts of the body. Our heart beats faster, our senses become super focused and our short duration muscles are primed for action – ready to ‘fight’ or take ‘flight’ to a safer place. The reaction is instinctive, in-built in the DNA passed down from our prime-evil ancestors as a necessary survival skill.
