Endorphins make us happy! So Why Don’t We Release More Of Them?

Whenever my dogs play, go outside, go for a walk, or do anything physical, they’re ALL smiles afterward.

Do you know why? Because E.N.D.O.R.P.H.I.N.S. make you SMILE.

The populations of the world could be a little bit happier, a little bit more smiley, and feel a little bit more cheerful inside if they released more endorphins every day. With depression and mental illness growing rampant, releasing endorphins is one sure thing you can do to help combat negative feelings, states of beings, and moods. It does take some effort on your part, but you always feel better once you complete an endorphin-releasing activity.

We shouldn’t be freaked out by people who often smile; instead, we should ask them what they have to smile about. Next, we should ask ourselves:

What can I smile about? What can I be grateful for? What do I get to do today that I might be taking for granted?

Here are some easy ways to release endorphins:

*Dance to some catchy a** music. *Complete a goal. *Take a walk first thing in the morning. *Workout with a friend. *Complete a seasonal house/room cleaning *Stretch and focus on your breathing. *Have a stimulating conversation. *Complete a scavanger hunt. *Go ziplining. *Play ball with your dogs (one of my dogs is OBSESSED w/ playing fetch 24/7).
