(Eu)stress
Can you do a backbend? On pointe? On a guy's head? At the same time?
In other news, give it to a busy person?
I wish I didn't have to run on the edge of panic to get things to happen, though - I seem most effective in the intermittent glitchy periods between overloads, but the overloads are necessary for me to have those intermittent downtimes during which stuff gets done. I wonder if my work habits could learn anything from sports training methodologies (where you overuse your body, then let it rest, then repeat - but do it in a safe and semi-systematic, planned manner).
