There's No Rehab Center for Adrenaline Junkies …How to Find Your Scenic, Sunday Drive Pace

Faster cars, faster internet, faster technology and faster results…do you ever feel like you're running on a clock going at 100X speed, or like you're on a treadmill running on the fastest setting? 

That's the culture we're living in…it's more acceleration, less appreciation. More pushing than presence. 

 

Here's the problem: when we focus on speeding up, any sense of connection and presence disappears. Adrenaline is addictive, it's like having Hershey bars as your only source of nourishment. And yes, shifting to another fuel source is a project, but it is worthwhile. We get to not only exist in the present, but actually savor it deliciously. 

 

So how do we slow down, connect and just be, instead of running so fast that we run ahead of ourselves? In this episode, we talk about how to start moving at the pace of essence, not acceleration.  

Adrenaline is more addictive than any drug scientists have yet invented. It's an imperative project to shift to a new fuel source. -Katie Hendricks
