The best way to "reset the brain" and end anxiety before an exam or opposition

The doctor in classical Neuropsychology Emilio Garrido recommends “systematically resetting the brain according to the circadian cycles, breakfast, lunch and dinner”, as a “method to combat anxiety and stress prior to taking exams and oppositions”, since these Emotions are the product of “a negative fingerprint.”

Garrido (Pamplona, 1945) has made these statements to EFE on the occasion of the conference he is giving this Saturday in Logroño entitled Have everything under control for when the day comes, organized by UGT La Rioja and aimed at opposition students.

This “reset” is not achieved “from today to tomorrow”, but “one of the important parts of happiness is being routine in things that benefit”, he added.

“The technique that each one uses does not matter to me”, he stressed, it can be “meditation, relaxation or 'mindfulness'” to carry out this “reset”, compared to “the culture that an exam is always a test that makes it difficult to introduce themselves to her”, a perception that “children have from the age of 3”.

He has highlighted that anxiety and stress can cause a person who does not control or manage them well and takes an exam, even if they have studied, to lose between 3 and 4 points on the test.

“We have learned that an exam is an important test, above all, depending on how much we risk when we do it, in such a way that, the higher the level of risk, the higher the level of anxiety and stress,” he stressed.

ANGUISH AND ANXIETY

The fundamental objective, he continued, would be to “manage what is the real vision of each one and what an examination implies in terms of stress and anxiety”, since “anxiety is the first symptom that appears, but, if it is not controls, develops a stress process”.

“This does not mean anything other than the inability of the student or whoever presents himself to the opposition to control the variables that they suppose, not only the learning that they have done, but with what anguish and anxiety they face that test,” he remarked. .

He has pointed out that “an exam, in itself, always generates stress because it is culturally so” and “it happens that the brain fingerprint, as is logical, does not react in favor, but on the contrary, it reacts by adding more anxiety, fear, anguish and stress to the person”.

“If a 30-year-old person has had this epigenetic social learning for the vast majority of his life, what negative charge does it have on his hard drive, which is our brain?”, has been asked.

He has defended that this person “gets a million negative information, that he has made a fingerprint for which, whenever he hears 'exam', he gets a feeling of oppression in his chest.”

For this reason, this initiative aims to “desensitize and accept the culture that has been received in order to manage it in a different way”, since “the brain has 'hardware', but also epigenetic 'software', which is 'malware' ' (malware) because we have been rude about certain tests.”

Garrido has advanced that he plans to publish, next October, a new book, entitled “The person of the opponent, a way to help you”, which combines “very modern techniques from American science to control stress and anxiety in order to , with another dimension, to be able to reset the brain”.
