Building Yourself Home Page. In things pertaining to enthusiasm, no one is sane who does not know how to be insane on proper occasions. An important part of building yourself involves developing sources of inner strength and continuing energy. Human energy is often self- sustaining, creating more energy as human creativity moves into gear. But all too often, we confuse adrenaline with energy.
Adrenaline is a hormone that acts as a stimulant to the central nervous system.
We all have the ability to manufacture adrenaline. We need that ability for quick response when we are threatened or in crisis. Unfortunately, in modern life, many of us manufacture too much adrenaline. We reach into ourselves and take a quick sporadic fix of adrenaline instead of cultivating the steady creative energy that leads to so much more. The high that adrenaline brings is almost always followed by a crash.
