People are always talking about a magic pill for this and that. Well, if you're looking for a sure way to pick yourself up...and feel a little happier, nothing beats endorphins.
You've heard of the "runners high" right? Well it is a literal high! After a good bout of exercise your body releases these naturally occurring neurotransmitters produced by the pituitary gland and hypothalamus. They are nature's pain relievers and they leave you with a feeling of well being, relaxation and ah, peace! Which means that they are great "medicine" for tackling stress and helping you live a life that feels more joyful. So, for those who aren't yet on the exercise bandwagon, here's yet another great reason to get your body moving...not that you needed another one! So...don't think about it...just do it (as Nike says)!
Get up, get going and get your endorphin kick TODAY!!!!
If you want to read more about endorphins enjoy Endorphins 101 and High as a Kite!
And with that...I'm off for a run on this beautiful fall day before I have to pick up my ladies from school!
Cheers!
