?That?s the crane you?ll walk across,? Akinola says pointing at 900 feet up to the Crown Tower skyscraper?s rooftop where Chris Hemsworth has to walk along a steel beam. It is so high up that it is almost as if the mortal Hemsworth is going to reach the abode of Odin any moment.

While talking about stress, Akinola explains that it is important to acknowledge the presence of stress. She says, ?Think of it as a person who shows up at your home unannounced. You know it?s going to make the weekend more challenging, but you still acknowledge them welcome them in, and find a way to treat them right. Why? Because you care about them.?

Mindfulness is another technique that helps in overcoming chronic anxiety and stress. In Limitless, Hemsworth also uses breathing techniques to lower his heart rate from 142 bpm to 86, which helps him walk across the crane at such a huge height.
