Does your motivation sometimes drag? Are you mentally tired? Do you have
more negative thoughts than you'd care to admit? Or do you simply not enjoy
life as much as you used to?
Maybe this doesn't sound like you right away, because you're doing okay in
life. But you know what? It creeps up on you. You likely don't even notice
what's become of your energy, mood, and motivation. You think the rut you're
in now is just part of being an adult.
But maybe you're just not giving your brain what it needs to be optimized.
You've been like this for so long that it feels normal. But your "normal" could
feel way better. So how do you optimize your brain, get motivated, have a
more positive outlook on life, gain more energy, and build and tap into more
strength?
For a while, Power Drive® wasn't available. Sadness ensued. But now it's
back! Let's talk about what it does and how it does it.
And let's say you're a CrossFit dude who needs to master two thousand skills
and can't afford to train them all every week. Well, if your acetylcholine is low
you better forget about that; you'll never keep any level of technical efficiency
on skills you can't train consistently.
It also plays a key role in triggering the stretch reflex. This reflex occurs when
a muscle is rapidly stretched. As a protective mechanism, it triggers a reflex
muscle contraction to shorten the muscle, reducing the risk of tearing that
muscle.
Athletes with a better stretch reflex are faster, more agile, and more powerful.
Insufficient acetylcholine decreases the sensitivity and strength of the stretch
reflex.
Brain Benefits
It's worth noting that acetylcholine can protect all the other neurotransmitters
you produce and make them more effective. It does so by speeding up the
transmission of the messages from other neurotransmitters. Your brain's
messaging within itself and with other parts of the body is enhanced by a high
level of acetylcholine. This means you'll need less of the other
neurotransmitters to do their job.
