Exercise: Exercise is a powerful way to release endorphins. Any type of physical activity that increases your heart rate and gets you moving, such as jogging, dancing, or biking, can trigger the release of endorphins.
Laughing: Laughter triggers the release of endorphins. Watch a funny movie, spend time with friends who make you laugh, or try laughter yoga.
Massage therapy: Getting a massage can stimulate the release of endorphins. It can also help to reduce stress and promote relaxation.
Meditation: Mindfulness practices such as meditation and deep breathing can help release endorphins and reduce stress.
Eating certain foods: Eating certain foods can trigger the release of endorphins. Foods that contain spicy ingredients, such as chili peppers, or those that contain high levels of omega-3 fatty acids, such as fatty fish like salmon, can help to boost endorphin levels.
I am an optimistic, can do, and never quit guy. The spirit of hope indelibly marks my DNA. My research at The Ohio State University helped people discover the best in themselves and change their personal lives, public organizations, and whole communities. I bring the same spirit and enthusiasm to my blog to help those who grieve who find themselves suddenly alone, navigate their grieving. Join my more than 24,300Twitter (@alwaysgoodstuff).
