Q

How Arousal Theory Works

A

When we become overly aroused, we seek soothing activities that help calm
and relax us. If we become bored, we search for more invigorating activities
that will energize and arouse us.

It’s all about STRIKING THE RIGHT BALANCE, but
that balance is unique to each individual.
