LIFESTYLE: LET'S MAKE THIS FLEETING MOMENT LAST FOREVER

MAKING THE MOST OF THINGS AND MOVING ON!

The one thing I always seem to have trouble with in life is understanding the crazy going on inside my head. Over the last few years it has come to my attention that I'm a bit of an adrenaline junkie; I will happily get myself into a situation, only to realise when it's too late that I was only doing it for the rush... This is usually where I proclaim an "OH SH*T!!" 

So I was wondering if it was just me that rushed in like a fool, where angels fear to tread or whether we all need something to make us feel alive? 



Now whether it's a new hobby, a cheeky little romance or some daring act of putting myself out there, I get a major kick out of the adrenaline rush I get when I dive head first into something new. It makes me feel on top of the world; I have confidence, I feel the electricity dancing in my fingertips and I get butterflies like you're waiting for the drop on an incredible song. In those moments I feel alive. 

But sometimes it lands me in a bit of trouble, especially lately where things are all very up in the air and I have no control, These are the times where I come down from the sparks and highs of the adrenaline and I realise that my actions have consequences that effect my emotions... I try to avoid these moments like the plague (don't we all?) because I don't like to have to deal with my feelings. Instead I like to get lost in music and usually something else a little quirky and out there. 

So of course I've thrown myself straight into strength training!!

Yeah, you heard me right... Strength Training. As in, lifting weights like kettlebells and barbells and dumbells. I get a real kick out of throwing down in the free weights section with the men, who let's face it, feel a little threatened by a girl in their territory! 

Okay so lifting weights isn't a massive adrenaline high for some people but the endorphins definitely don't suck! But on top of this I am doing kick boxing, which means I'm doing 4 hours of sport followed by a 5K run four times a week and conditioning. All those endorphins get me a little high and I guarantee that if you ask anyone who works out regularly they will tell you that there's no better high than a workout high....

So you're probably wondering what the hell my point is...? Well I was actually just wondering if I was the only one who used different situations (despite knowing the outcome might not be that great for me) just because they get a kick out of it? And what's more is, if said situation isn't great for you, should you walk away, cold turkey or stick it out and enjoy the ride for as long as possible?

What does it take to make you feel alive?
