Reticular Activation

We just had our final choir rehearsal before our Easter musical. We have performances on Saturday afternoon and Easter morning.

We had to memorize all of the music. That's eight songs of words and parts.

I still have some rough spots.

This is where "reticular activation" comes in. Our reticular activating system helps the neurons in our brains become more active when we have to be more alert and pay more attention. (That's my very basic understanding.)

I am wondering if it also helps to panic? Probably not.

Fortunately, the rough spots are few. I'll be ready.
