Please pass the endorphins!

We all know what endorphins are. They are the feel good hormones released by the body that make us, (are you ready?) FEEL GOOD. Sounds great, right? All we have to do is figure out how to get the body to do this. Im sure each of us has a favorite way of getting an endorphin fix. One of the easiest is to eat something yummy. A piece of chocolate cake? A quart of butter brickle ice cream? A super duper large bag of french fries. Well, ok , that works for maybe the time it takes to eat all that yummy stuff. But probably a half a second or maybe a minute later if we are real good at denial, the endorphins are replaced with that all familiar endorphin killer: GUILT.

What to do? What to do? Here's a novel idea: Find a different source of endorphins. Something that wont be killed by guilt before we even put down our fork, or spoon or empty bag of fries. Well let's see. Let's make a list. Everyone's list is different, because everyone's truth is unique. There is not one other person on this planet that could create the same endorphin boosting list as someone else. Isnt that wonderful? We all have our own truth.

So here is my non guilt, endorphin creator list. Not the whole list, mind you. Just the list list that pops into my head as I type this.

1) A walk at the San Diego Wild Animal Park.

2) A trip to the gym. The better the workout the better the endorphins and the longer they last.

3) Writing this blog

4)Poking around on the internet.

5) My photography. Some of my photos

6) A good night's sleep

7) Watching the New York City Ballet's version of Romeo and Juliet.

8) Old Hollywood musicals
