Romans 12:2 says, “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.”
Adrenaline rush is not an health booster but stress booster |
Psalm 127:1-5 ESV
A Song of Ascents. Of Solomon. "Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain. Unless the Lord watches over the city, the watchman stays awake in vain. It is in vain that you rise up early and go late to rest, eating the bread of anxious toil; for he gives to his beloved sleep".
Hebrews 13:5 ESV
"Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”
1 in 31 Americans are prone to adrenaline rush |
In the western and European christian countries work for only 5 days in a week around 40 to 44 hours.people are happy and can perform very well enjoying the weekends.Same thing s are allowed in the MNC's but in most of the indigenous industries ignore this rules and want their workers to work for 1- 16 hours a day.
According to the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA): A standard workweek is between 35 and 44 hours, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Minor Employees:
The FLSA restricts the hours employees ages 14 and 15 can work, only between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. They can work three hours per day on a school day, eight hours on a non-school day and no more than 40 hours during a non-school week. They are also prohibited from working during school hours.
The world is becoming workaholic but in India there is no strict regulations on work schedule.As a result lot of people are under stress,depression and other ailments due to adrenaline rush.
Dr Roma Kumar, clinical psychologist at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, says, “excessive work is like an addiction”. You get an adrenaline rush in a high-stress situation. Adrenaline, a stress response hormone, gives the body an instant physical boost and decreases the perception of pain.
Organisations thrive on the adrenaline rush: once addicted to the hormone, you cannot function without stress.
The first symptoms are irritability, loss of sleep and heightened awareness, and later lead to restlessness and a decrease in job satisfaction. An overload of adrenaline puts pressure on the heart muscle, and the hippocampus (the part of the brain that is in charge of emotions and memory) shrinks. This hormonal imbalance also leads to a lack of concentration, loss of sexual appetite and fertility issues.
Unlike other addictions, which carry social disapproval, this one is applauded with promotions.
Luke 12:15 ESV
"And he said to them, “Take care, and be on your guard against all covetousness, for one's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions(much money or wealth).
