ADRENALINE...good or bad ?

[Ducati]

Adrenaline - we never really hear or say much about it. Is it a good thing ?

This subject came to mind while I was cutting grass. I have some music on my MP3 player that I used to listen to while at the gym. I will admit - its not Christian - but it gets the adrenaline going...something that is vital at the gym.

How else can you get your adrenaline up for something like a good work out with out mind blowing music ?

Sometimes after watching moto racing I feel like going for a good long fast ride.


I know adrenaline can get some people in trouble but how we get that adrenaline going raises the question for me.

Your thoughts ?

I believe that it can be both Du. It's good it helps you to escape a ferocious animal.
It is bad if you keep risking your life for a rush.

When I watch certain action movies my adrenaline really gets going. I guess as long as you don't get
too hooked on it, it can be ok. It's like a drug though in that it can be addictive. I get a rush the very
instant however, that I see a clearance sign at a dept. store.

The real question is, is it just that you don't have any good hard christian music? I love music and have a ton of recommendations on christian hard rock and christian rap.

As to your original question, music has always been what gets my adrenaline going. Or just jumping into something that forces it to pump, like a tank slapper breaking into turn 3 in the rain.

Adrenaline is awesome. Unless it's pumping through your system 24/7 due to anxiety. With young kids and anxiety, I've had to tone down my athletic and adventurous ventures.

And by awesome I mean it serves a purpose but like drugs can be totally addictive. Everything in moderation right?

Believe me my brother , I have plenty of Christian rock/rap music - even on my MP3 - and it does get me going , there just a few 'worldly' ones that are just..............INSANE ! Metal was my drug of choice as a kid - maybe some more detox is needed ?
