To Balance Adrenalin
”Exciting System”
We’ve all experienced it: on a fairground ride, skiing, going on a first date or
even something somewhat negative such as accidentally hitting ‘Reply All’ on a
sensitive email response. The primary functions of adrenalin are to 1) increase heart
rate and blood flow in survival situations and 2) to release energy quickly from
stored resources of carbohydrate and fat to provide the muscles and brain with a burst
of energy and strength to facilitate immediate action. Adrenalin creates excitement,
activation and speed. It gives us the energy to meet new challenges, but it can
speed us up or leave us feeling overly excited or nervous in presentations or
negotiations, making it difficult to communicate succinctly or think clearly. Adrenalin is
one of the two key operative chemicals of the sympathetic nervous system, the system
that produces the fast action needed to respond to threats. The signature
feelings of adrenalin are fear or excitement.
BRAIN-HACKING TIPS : If you feel nerves
building up, don’t just sit there: move,
shift position, walk, shake out your legs
and arms to disperse adrenalin.
