How Do You Release Good

gertrudecloset — Thu, 20 Oct 2022 18:18:39 GMT

Endorphines that are good for your over all health? Mines is listening to music I love and dancing (shaking a tail feather). Of course there is one more that ranks the same way as my dancing, but that's besides the point......*my attempt at being fresh*

Here are some other ways good endorphines can be released from the body to help with stress, pain, self image, and controlling apetite:

Exercising (Power Walking)

Dancing

Swimming

Hiking

Secs

Massage

Acupuncture

Eating ice cream and cookies. Doesn't that work?

For some, it might. I can't partake in that anymore! But I'm jamming to one of my favorite songs, as I type @Puppy Lips

I eat one piece of dark chocolate everyday plus I exercise and pet my dog frequently.

@SilleeMee I used to not like dark chocolate. However, when I developed a liking for it, I'd eat the whole bar in one sitting. All of those years I missed out on eating dark cacoa! LOL. It is has excellent health benefits so that's a good thing!

@gertrudecloset Did you mean sex?

It's a perfectly acceptable word.

@Love my grandkids what do you think? I've seen many spell it this way to avoid the dreaded algorithm that catches certain unsavory words. Trying to stay above the fray as I never know when I will be admonished.........

I run at least 5 miles a day, many times 7 miles, listening to good music. I love how I feel starting about mile 2 and for a few hours afterwards. I like to get my run in first thing in the morning so I feel good all day.

@gertrudecloset

I like your list, even though there are a couple that I have not done, or continued to do anyway.

For me the best way has always been an activity that increases the heart rate for a sustained period of time. To be more specific for myself, that would be running and ice skating, both of which I loved doing.

I will add more specifics like flexibility exercises, specificity in strength training. Also Relaxation Response or Transcendental Meditation(TM).

Nothing for me has felt as good as a "Runners or Skaters High". Those transcend all for me.

Almost every day, a morning two mile power walk followed by half an hour of meditation, or Qi Gong.

I get a half hour massage every other week at a spa just around the corner. It is enormously relaxing. The same therapist is there for every appointment and her touch is perfect. I am sure it stimulates every kind of feel-good chemical my body produces.

Highly recommend the tactile stimulation, the pressure and strokes that benefit circulation, and the warm flat stones for skin and muscle relaxation. I walk home and let myself take a nap. I am remarkably carried to positivity by endorphins for about a week. Physical treatment that provides a lot of mental improvement.

My dh and I power walk twice a day (min. 5miles/day). Since we started this journey we've lost 110 lbs between the two of us.!! We are no way gaining that weight back! We are in our late 60's. We feel the effects of walking in a good way! No aches, no pains, never get sick, always in a good mood, etc. Exercise is a game changer with us!
