Addiction is not a dirty word FROM ONE ADRENALIN JUNKIE TO ANOTHER – I SEE YOU SISTA.
T
he racing thoughts, the endless to-do-lists, the deadlines, the pile of laundry, the melting down kids, the dishes and that never-ending drive to get it all done perfectly…. It’s a rush baby! And we are all hooked! It’s modern-day slavery – the only difference is that we have become a slave to our own internal stress hormones. Adrenalin and cortisol are more addictive than crack and they are literally on tap 24/7. We turn it on as soon as we open our eyes, we are like a mobile phone looking for the wifi network. We wake and search for the stories of yesterday to define who we are and then start planning the to-do-lists for the day ahead. Every single negative, fearful or judgemental thought about the past or the future produces a tiny amount of adrenalin or cortisol. We are slowly drip-feeding ourselves stress all day every day, simply through the addiction to our own inner critic. Imagine how your day would start off differently if, when you woke, you remembered to ask yourself this simple question…. “Who am I?” Imagine remaining present and relaxed as your soul lands back into its physical body after a night of subconscious acrobatics. Imagine connecting in with the depths of who you truly are and releasing yourself from the clutches of your fear craving to kickstart your first hit for the day.
