Most of us nurture and reassure ourselves with sugar. Yet a big dose of sugar will send you into what's called Sugar Blues by messing up your natural insulin and overstressing your body's ability to stay in the normal range. Start noticing how you feel 20-40 minutes after that brownie or apple pie a la mode. We can get addicted to crisis because even boring stuff gets really exciting when we are under the gun to perform. This creates lots of adrenaline, resulting in emergency energy levels.
Trouble is, our natural adrenaline is just as addictive as narcotics.
This was one of my subconscious solutions to running out of energy. And I paid the price with a serious health situation. Chronic Fatigue Syndrome appears to be linked to this constant drain on our adrenals. This is one classic symptom of Hurry sickness, which has now been recognized as an illness which results when our primary solution to the many demands on us is to try to do everything faster. Sometimes we must slow down to go faster.
