Disrupting The Meritocracy of Adrenaline

Anyone who spends a lot of time with ambitious people will tell you —

Adrenaline is one heckuva drug!

Sure, it’s all-natural and a perfectly normal hormone for your adrenals to produce, but it’s also quite addicting for some people.

Working short deadlines. Staying super busy. Running on stress.

It sometimes feels like a superpower! Like you’re getting ahead by giving yourself a huge advantage.

Operating under pressure can help you focus, heighten your abilities, and make you feel invincible — all thanks to a chemical influx to your brain.

But you probably know where I’m going with this . . .

Running on high adrenaline simply isn’t sustainable.

Relying on adrenaline eventually turns us into junkies, needing coffee, sugar, and all sorts of stimulants to keep from crashing throughout the day. Our performance starts to suffer, we make mistakes, and sooner or later, we either face the facts or hit a wall.

What I want for you is sustainable success, and here’s how you get there.

Be present. Remember, silence is the natural organizer. You have to create space in your life.

Of course, this may sound easier said than done, but the payoff is worth the effort. It will help you experience focus, efficiency, and heightened ability without the roller coaster of energy, damaging stress, and eventual crash.

Meditating, journaling, practicing yoga, exercising, and doing breathwork all give you the benefits of adrenaline without the negative side effects.

Become aware of your body. Move consciously. Pay attention to your breathing.

These actions get the other endorphins flowing so you don’t have to rely solely on adrenaline.

I want you to feel refreshed, vibrant, and ready to take on your next challenge.
