DO YOU FULLY UNDERSTAND WHAT AN
ADRENALINE
LIFESTYLE IS?
ADRENALINE IS
· A source of energy: Humans will go to any
length to get the quickest, easiest source of energy. Adrenaline
produces energy; not the most healthful, but is continually
available.
· Personal friction: Humans succumb to this drug
instead of letting their hearts decide.
·Medication: Adrenaline rushes to help to a
person to "blast thorough" difficult times. Problem is, the
adrenaline junkie creates crises just for the rush. When a person is
"on" adrenaline, they have a respite from pain and feelings are
covered up.
· A nasty habit that creates a lifestyle: To get
the rush, humans do soul-damaging things: careers, greed, getting
ahead, winning, keeping self in survival in order to have something
to win at etc.
· A toxin that keeps healthy people away: Those
who are "over" adrenaline or are not adrenaline-based usually won't
develop close relationships with adrenaline addicts; it is too
upsetting and painful. So the addict is surrounded by those with
broken wings, co-dependents or other addicts.
WHAT OTHERS WILL SAY OR THINK
ABOUT THE ADA
· How can his spouse take it?
· I know he listened to what I said, but I don't
think he heard me.
· You can count on Karen to be late; that's just
her.
· Jerry is always so busy. What is he always
doing?
· Why does Michael put himself through all that
stress? I think he likes it or something.
· He always said he works best under pressure,
but he's including us, too.
ADRENALINE ADDICTION
IS A RECOVERABLE CONDITION
· ADAs can recover from adrenaline addiction,
usually by simply changing select behaviors.
· ADAs identify their personal 20 Triggers which
start the rush and eliminate the triggers.
· ADAs recover faster with the help of a
therapist or adrenaline-recovered coach.
· ADAs will go through a withdrawal period (see
The Recovery Process below) of between 6-12 months.
· Stop the triggering behaviour.
· Be willing to be very bored, until your new
energy source kicks in (3-6 months).
· SHigh truthfully and completely to everyone and
yourself in order to let go of the residue and heal.
· work with Dianna, therapist or experienced
consultant.
· Install a strong Personal Foundation to keep
you well and adrenaline-free.
ADRENALINE TRIGGER - SOLUTION
Overpromising results, even a little bit
...................
Deliberately underpromise, despite the other
person's reaction or consequences
Arriving exactly on time or late
............................. Leave 15 minutes early for every
appointment
Involved in non-essential projects/actives
............... Cut out 50% of all personal and professional
projects and goals
Shoulds and have to's; someone else's
agenda......... Get rid of all shoulds, no exceptions
Doing one thing in order to get another
thing.......... Just do the latter and see if it works
Having current unresolved matters in your life
....... Most of us have at least 100; get them done
Holding back from another; being nice, being
angry, not owing up to something you did...... Have a heart-to-heart
and be constructively honest
Not asking for what you need
................................ Be specific and ask before you need
it
Energy drains; things you're putting up with
.............. Put up with nothing; re-educate people
Letting people walk all over you
............................ Expand your boundaries
Trying to prove something by your results
............. Shift from results to people and pleasure
