What turns you on?

What was the last thing you did, saw, ate or experienced that left you feeling turned on?

Heart racing, eyes dilating, imagination exploding with possibilities, adrenaline coursing through your blood stream and dopamine/serotonin flooding your nervous system.

What was it?

Deeper than sex, food, alcohol and drugs…what activities give you a similar high that you can’t get enough of?

Make a list right now…and then spend 5 minutes doing one of those things on your list.

The gruelling schedule of Med school is designed to kill your passions, or at least kill your ability to connect with them.

(An emotionally impotent person is much more compliant and easier to control than someone in touch with their life’s true passions.)

Now whilst you may feel you’ve lost your love for kite boarding, stamp collecting, air guitar or improve, taking a moment to admit that those things still turn you on (even a bit) is a step in rekindling your desire for those things.

So…what turns you on?
