Research shows, write down the things that cause anxiety effectively to clear your mind and helps us focus on the challenges to be faced. This technique has proven capable of improving the ability of students to 20 percent when compared with students who did not do anything when anxious.
"When someone is anxious he was to spend the energy that could be used for other tasks. By writing things that worry, a sense of anxiety can be reduced," said professor Sian Beilock from the University of Chicago.
Previously Prof.Beilock've done research that shows the stressful situations can empty the brain that processes the power is referred to as working memory.
Working memory is a temporary place in the outer layer of the brain and becomes a kind of notepad that can make someone work on information related to the task at hand. But the notepad can also be filled with things that are worrying. As a result we can lose brain power.
By writing things that make us feel anxious, other than anxiety is reduced, self-confidence also increased. Writing activities will also win the brain and strengthens mental balance. This was evidenced in experiments conducted Beilock to 20 students.
"Technical writing this anxiety can improve our performance in dealing with various situations stresful, such as presentations, job interviews or exams," said Beilock.
Previously another study showed emotional tension can also be mitigated with writing poems or singing activities.
