Guest guest Posted May 2, 2007 Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 >>We have all seen and experienced the euphoria and the feeling of " I/we did it " after winning a trophy or a match. This feeling externally shows as pumping fists and jumping in the air and internally it feels like euphoria. >>But, what I find greatly more fascinating is the smaller 'I did it' moments that happen in great number throughout the day! I think all these moments and the feeling that they generate is related to hormones and this is what keeps addicted to the 'feeling of doer-ship'. We want to feel this 'I did it' moment again and again. [...] In men, testosterone is extremely sensitive to stress, and to feelings of winning or defeat. In the average male, testosterone is released in pulses every twenty minutes or so, and is perhaps the most psychoreactive of all hormones. The feeling of being a loser, a failure in life, can really castrate a man. Conversely, successful, socially dominant " alpha males " tend to have higher TESTOSTERONE levels than same- age subservient men. http://www.antiaging.com/cyberhealth/CyberHealth_21.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
