ARE YOU AN ADRENALINE JUNKIE?

You always seem to have a crisis going in your life (real or overblown) or surround yourself with troubled souls who constantly need your help.

You are always rushing, with a packed schedule and if things begin to slow down, you take on more.

You have dramatic conflicts with people in your lives, exploding in anger and otherwise causing unnecessary ‘drama’.

You wait until the last minute to begin a project and then need to really scramble to get it done.
