Quotes to ponder:
"While a little stress can be useful to upregulate performance, your Goldilocks brain doesn’t function well at either extreme of too little or too much."
"Having a really good belly laugh is a fantastic physical workout and a brilliant way to dissolve away stress."
"If you’re someone who normally flourishes under pressure that’s fine so long as you are still taking sufficient time out for rest and recovery."
