Think about it as the accelerator on your alertness and attention.

the sympathetic arm of the autonomic nervous system I know that's a mouthful is responsible for generating states of alertness in our brain and body everything from Panic to being alert and calm our tendency to move or our likelihood of moving under pressure it is also responsible for our ability to resist movement when we need to resist movement and therefore it's an active process so the sympathetic nervous system is all the things of action and when it is involved in generating inaction those are cases where inaction requires energy okay I want to be very clear about this the sympathetic nervous system isn't just about moving our body although it has a lot to do with that it is also responsible for our ability to resist movement or thought or emotion when we need to do that clamp down on ourselves
