When something activates us, our bodies engage without us even knowing it. Our brains sense that we are in danger, either perceived or real. Thus, we are involving different parts of our nervous systems, stimulating the flight, fight, or freeze response. Then, challenges can become bigger and more frightening for us to navigate. All of this is what is better known as the arousal response.
