👉 Did this episode resonate? Text me — I actually read these.
Pleasure, play, and social connection are all deeply nourishing and restorative on both a physical and an emotional level and can provide a powerful antidote to stress.
When you experience pleasure, your body secretes endorphins. Endorphins interact with opiate receptors in the brain to reduce your perception of pain. They act similarly to morphine and codeine, but unlike these drugs, they do not lead to dependence or addiction.
Secretion of endorphins also leads to an improved immune response, release of sex hormones, modulation of appetite, and feelings of euphoria. Most importantly, high endorphin levels may help you cope with the negative effects of stress.
When you actually focus on YOU, your body, your mind and your entire well being, it's easier to focus on your pleasure. Your efforts will be rewarded, I promise.Â
