这个 Topic 其实在作者 The 5 Second Rule 这本书中有提到过，这个视频又细化了下。
Robbins 强调了一个核心科学事实：恐惧和兴奋在生理状态上是完全相同的。无论是恐惧还是兴奋，身体都会经历心跳加速、出汗、皮质醇激增等“高唤醒”状态。唯一的区别在于大脑如何解释这种身体反应——是将其标记为“危险”（恐惧）还是“刺激”（兴奋）。因此，传统的建议如“冷静下来”或“积极思考”往往无效，因为要求身体从极度激动的“高唤醒状态”瞬间切换到放松的“低唤醒状态”是非常困难的，这就像试图用一块石头去拦停一辆高速行驶的火车，只会导致灾难。
为了解决这个问题，Robbins 提出了一种结合了“5秒法则”（The 5-Second Rule）和“锚定思维”（Anchor Thought）的策略。通过倒数 5-4-3-2-1，我们可以激活前额叶皮层，打断恐惧的惯性思维；紧接着，利用一个与当前情境相关的、积极的“锚定思维”来重新构建大脑的认知。这种方法并不试图消除身体的激动反应，而是顺势将其重新定义为“兴奋”。通过 Mel 自己在后台准备演讲时的亲身经历，以及她克服飞行恐惧的案例，视频生动地展示了如何利用这一技巧“欺骗”大脑，将恐惧转化为兴奋，从而夺回对行动的控制权。
