  4. We don’t think this Monterey County resident is out of touch with distressing circumstances in our nation, including surreal actions by the Commander in Chief. In fact, this local is a U.S. military veteran (unlike the C of C, ironically) and a member of Veterans for Peace.

    Yet even when news is troubling, whenever we see him, he wears a bright smile. We feel sure he keeps his spirits up—regardless of the day’s news or the day’s weather— by doing lots of pedaling! Whenever we see him, as again today, he’s on his bicycle.

  8. And I suspect I've got some endorphins releasing.

    Yeah, definitely feeling some goodness.

  9. Endorphins are welcome 🏋🏻‍♀️

    Endorphins are natural chemicals produced by your body that act as neurotransmitters (chemical messengers) in the brain. Their main role is to help reduce pain and boost pleasure, leading to feelings of well-being. Endorphins are your body’s natural “feel-good” and “pain-relief” chemicals, part of your built-in reward and survival system. "Depression has a nasty way of turning gentle, healing steps into “not good enough.” But here’s the truth: the basic things (walking, cycling at low resistance) are actually exactly the kinds of activities that can wake up your endorphins again—especially after surgery and grief." Animated image (GIF) from the movie Legally Blonde showing Elle Woods (played by Reese Witherspoon) speaking with a bright, cheerful expression. She has long blonde hair, red lipstick, and is wearing a black blazer over a white blouse with a red bow tie. The subtitles read: "Exercise gives you endorphins. Endorphins make you happy." […]

  10. 5k run, 2k row and 500m swim, the first two soundtracked by my "Larry Levan Paradise Garage Classics" playlist. #yessss #endorphins

  11. These #Swedes #biked from #Carmel to #Marina on Sunday, October 13 and were heading back to Carmel when we met them in #SandCity. Their cheerfulness reflects the increased #endorphins and overall #joy of #biking—not so much the #infrastructure they experienced in sections of Carmel, #PebbleBeach and elsewhere.

  17. If ur #new, follow and boost liberally. There’s no #algorithm feeding you #garbage and #ads. It’s a small thing that makes a huge difference. No #addictive #endorphins. You will have withdrawals. Also, we #read, so no all-caps are necessary.
  18. #Happiness #hormones
    1. #Dopamine (reward chemical) : eat well, complete tasks, achieve goals, self-care
    2. #Oxytocin (love hormone) : socialize with friends, hugs, touch, help friends, time with pets
    3. #Endorphins (painkiller) : exercise, listen to music, watch movies, laugh
    4. #Serotonin (mood stabilizer) : sun exposure, nature activities, mindfulness, meditation

  19. Fitness has always been a center-point of my life, a magnet which brought together the vastness of inner worlds and anchored them to the physical form. I could never desire a life without those abilities: climbing ice and rock, backcountry telemark, riding and racing, or simply exploring the beauty of nature.

    Then, perhaps I pushed too hard for too long, or perhaps the multitude of medical experiments wasn't always a great idea. Nevertheless, I was doing what felt correct during those so very many years.

    Here's a few photos from that last era, the months of 10% body fat, of deltoid striations and viciously vascular definition. Rowing crew for two to three hours per day, six days per week, boosted like a racehorse that never wants to stop.

    Looking back with analytical eyes, as perhaps a more informed observer, now knowing the very same month which transpired these photos — was the very same month this brain decided a tumour should begin to grow. It never stopped growing, changing, affecting everything. The vascular muscles atrophied, resumed their softness, and body fat gradually doubled. No more race-pace, no more endorphins, no more no more.

    That same month was the last time I rowed, the last time that magnet was able to hold it all together.

  20. Dealing with #lowselfesteem today. Decided to #exercise, did 15 minutes #weights and 15 minutes #jogging. Feeling better. Gotta chase those #endorphins when the #serotonin won't hit.

  21. Dog Psychology 101:

    Does your #Dog lick you before they fall asleep?

    “According to Gabby, the act of licking "releases #Endorphins" that can help soothe a dog to sleep. She said it also provides the pooch involved with a "sense of security" while also reminding them of "puppyhood" and being "groomed" by their moms

    Gabby added that it is also their "natural way" of expressing affection and "thanking" their owner for showing them love”

  22. Recently been getting back into running. I gave it up because of my left knee. Weirdly my knee has fixed itself. I've started with Interval walk/run which I'm really enjoying #fitness #endorphins #workout #sweat

  23. I'm convinced that some people just NEED the social media endorphin rush when someone comment/boosts/likes their content, and that is part of why some of the Birdsite folks don't stick around here.... If you're familiar with Las Vegas and slot machines, there is a reason they make all those noises and you hear clinking... we are just trained to addictive endorphin prods. #endorphins

  24. I joked with my family who’d gathered for Mother’s Day that my biggest goal in life at the moment was keeping this reading streak going. The downside is that is forces me to prioritize my Kindle every day over my “real” #books.

  25. Beautiful River Jog this morning. Finally things are getting brighter. One tired doggy after 8km #fitness #endorphins #workout #pennythedog

  26. During an endorphin high, my mind seems to detach from my physical body, almost like it breaks my proprioception. Does anyone else experience the same, or know why?
    (this is one of those "can I even ask someone else about this?" things)

  27. Social media is a boon and a bummer. Everywhere. For me. I love making friends but I crave those little boosts and faves. Way too much. Trying to be more mindful of my headspace. #tedtalk #mybrain #fomo #endorphins
