CoT– “Flight or Fight”- with the recent video of 17 yo girl pushing a Mama Bear with cubs, I started wondering how I would react in this type of situation.  As I did some research, the Flight of Fight is a temporary stress caused by a toxic influx of adrenaline and epinephrine pumping overwhelming your system.  This causes a psychosis of sorts- the effected usually does not recollect or recognize what’s happening.  The recommendation  to help curb this reaction and maintain your cool in a stressful situation:  20-45 minutes of daily exercise. This provides your body with a daily influx of good “stress” that curbs a spike in adrenaline and epinephrine to unhealthy levels… so keep your cool in stressful situations- and keep coming to F3!
