The Navy SEALs (which stands for Sea, Air, Land) are the US Special Forces trained for all eventualities.

Their official motto is "the only easy day was yesterday" and the members who compose it are tough as the motto.
But even if they have what it takes to be superheroes, they are still human beings.
They also need to cling to some psychological ploy in order to address the risks and challenges of their work.
Of course survival tricks of the SEALs are useful to anyone, as the basis of our relationship with fear is the structure of our brains (and in this we are not too different from them.)
L 'amygdala, which is so named because of its shape that resembles an almond, is the hub of the limbic system and the place where it concentrates the feeling of fear.
Check the instinct to flee, aggression and participate in any form of excitement with the management of emotions and desires.
When we are in a situation of danger, the amygdala reacts with an instinctive impulse, long before the prefrontal cortex is active and that the escalation.
To gain control of these fears so deeply rooted in the human brain, the SEALs are helped by so-called Big Four to four highly specialized psychologists in panic management.

Although only having to speak in public can trigger a strong impulse, because the disapproval of others is one of man's original fears.
If you also want to learn how to program your instincts, here is a manual of psychological tricks to try on their skin to protect themselves from the daily dangers:
1.
Fix the objectives Ask yourself as an emotional experience focus particularly important.
Possibly something that can occur in a not too distant future.
This idea will become the anchor of your inner balance.
Given that the amygdala in stress situations is activated in an uncontrolled manner, determines the total chaos.
Through intensive control of this inner movement, however, it becomes possible for the frontal cortex in order to reassure mental overcrowding and the amygdala.
The frontal cortex is also considered the most human part of the brain and is sometimes described as "organ of civilization."
The SEALs, in particularly dangerous situations, often think their families, their friends, religion, or other things that are important.
2.
Automation through mental training This mental training technique in which they appeal the SEALs is known to many as the "display."
It consists in imagining dangerous situations as often as possible, so that they become automatic.
Even athletes use this technique: imagine their jump or sprint them in detail to gain confidence.
Normal people, who may not release any hostages or rescue the trapped climbers, have certainly different priorities in terms of display than the Navy SEALs.
But even job interviews, public speaking or business meetings can be thought of in these terms.

It is important to mentally imagine not only the situation in general, but also every detail that we may encounter on our way.
And since nothing ever goes according to plan, the unexpected must be thought; one of the techniques is to associate each gesture to an automated color to get ready.
Who often speak in public using these techniques, and even psychologists working in this way to help patients suffering from phobias.
3.
inner dialogues to gain confidence Ok, to understand that there is a huge difference between the internal dialogues that cause terror and those that cause happiness should not be passionate readers of NLP books.
The SEALs, in the course of their training, they learn to routines to send positive messages to yourself.
If you think you have the ability to listen and understand up to 400 words per minute as they do, then it makes sense to embark on a cascade of internal dialogues, of course, avoid thinking about sad things.
Even the amygdala is influenced by positive thoughts, it is also so that it becomes possible to allay the panic out of control.
4.
Voltage monitoring with the breath Why not use another traditional technique?
That's right, his breath.
Inhale deeply and exhale brings us back down to earth and quenches our physical reactions.
Exhale long mimics the real body relaxation process while inhaling oxygen to the brain and improves cognitive skills.
To counter the irrational reactions of the amygdala is also important to combine them.
Inhaling and exhaling a long, several times.
For those unfamiliar with the difference between a long and short of breath, you should count to five.
I mean, who tells you the tricks of the Navy SEALs might not like to hear about among the aisles of the supermarket, or when you get home at night?
