BEAT STRESS WITH ADRENALINE
Search THE FEMALE ZONE
You're standing in the open doorway of a light aircraft at 9,000 feet, a parachute strapped to your back and a little voice in your head starts screaming there's no way in the world I can do this! Knowing that this could be really dangerous, your nervous system discharges a burst of emergency commands to your adrenals, two walnut-shaped glands that sit above the kidneys. Like a high powered machine gun they fire a burst of adrenaline into your bloodstream and within milliseconds you're experiencing a full-blown rush.
Your heart is pounding, your pupils have dilated, your palms are sweating and your hair is standing on end. Before you can say 'whoa', you're hurtling through the air at a velocity fast approaching 200 plus kilometers per hour and you don't know whether to laugh or scream in terror. That's the power of adrenaline. It can push your boundaries, narrow your focus and enhance your performance like nothing else on earth.

It's all about you.
Just like the Six Million Dollar Man or Wonder Woman, you'll be stronger, faster, braver and more daring. Research shows that bursts of excitement can stimulate your senses in a way that helps you beat stress.
Bring on Adrenaline!
And that's not all it does. Intense exercise and excitement releases hormones including adrenaline, and the resulting high can help prepare and protect you from future stressful situations. that's right. The same hormone spurt that makes you want to shriek “woo-hoo” at the top of your lungs can also grant you the power to snub daily stress and fear. Adrenaline can actually make you feel more relaxed and laid-back and feel less tense & edgy.
Doing new things that push our boundaries and test our limits can increase our sense of exhilaration and pleasure. You don't need to take up activities that absolutely terrify you, but setting yourself a variety of regular challenges that make you feel a little anxious can give you that electrifying buzz that the same-old, same-old simply can't.
It could be something as simple as doing something you don't normally do like going for a horse ride. The adrenaline rush you feel after you've achieved something new will have you on a high for ages.
You can use stress to fight stress. Beneficial stress is stress that comes in a short sharp stimulating surge, like the type of acute rush you get when your kayak rounds the bend in a river and suddenly you are confronted with some ferociously serious rapids...
