Comfortably uncomfortable?

How do you feel when:
- you're about to pitch a new product for the first time?
- you're called upon to speak at a national meeting - and the head of distribution is in attendance?
- you need to explain (simply) a complex concept to an advisor - having only learned about it yourself in last 24 hours?
All of these caused me to be temporarily uncomfortable.
With the emphasis on temporarily.
To get past the discomfort, Harvard-trained brain scientist Jill Bolte Taylor suggests a 90-second rule.
She's says, "When a person has a reaction to something in their environment, there’s a 90-second chemical process that happens; any remaining emotional response is just the person choosing to stay in that emotional loop."
Said another way, for the first 90-seconds your brain is in control.
What happens after those 90-seconds is up to you.
How comfortable can you get with being uncomfortable?
