NATURAL MORPHINE: HOW TO LIVE THE HIGH AND HAPPY LIFE
"Life no balance" is a popular expression used frequently around the social media space today, and even in our daily physical conversations.
But come to look at it. Yes, life isn't fair, and neither is it black.
It is up and down with shades of grey as the sauce between. Life is a dirty player that throws you a curve ball at one end and expects you to pick it up at the other end of the court.
And most times, you find yourself running to and fro, feeling stressed, disorganized, and overwhelmed by all the passes. So vastly that you can't bear up with.
You are breathless, restless, exhausted, overwhelmed, and "Can I just have a freaking break???"
Yes, you get to that point where you zone out and just want to forget about everything.
As is the natural order of things, your body seeks a high.
Your body NEEDS a high.
Anything that can distract it from the pain, worry, anxiety, disappointments, uncertainty, fear, and the host of negativity hanging around.
The brain Is stressed and depressed. The few peanuts of your energy are then channelled towards 'the how and need to feel better,' to feel good-- no matter how fake and temporary that good is.
'With no choice,' you allow yourself to be serenaded by alcohols, pain relievers, hard drugs, and a whole lot of feel-good substances.
You want to indulge.
But wait!
What if I told you there's a better option. One that takes you high and doesn't leave your world crashing around once it wears off.
What if I told you there is a natural "feel good" drug that you can board on and be assured of a safe flight without any crash.
Oh yes! There is.
They are called endorphins.
What are endorphins?
Endorphins are substances released by the body to ameliorate stress and pain. They operate similar to opioid drugs like morphine and elicit feelings of euphoria. They are moreover realized as feel-good hormones.
So here's the question.
You have a drug that costs you monetarily to procure, and its side effect is always detrimental to health. And you have another one, free of charge, with no cost and no side effects carrying out the same function. Which would you choose?
The second option right?
Yes, that's what I'll choose too.
And how do we get access to this better option?
We produce them.
There are activities we carry out that stimulate the body to release these endorphins.
They include;
1. Exercise.
2. Laughing.
3. Giving to charities and helping the less fortunate.
4. Having sex (If you're married.)
5. Yoga and meditation.
6. Creating art.
7. Dancing.
8. Eating dark chocolate.
All these activities release endorphins in the body, improve our moods, and make us happy. Research says that these are just as effective as your morphine and opioid drugs.
P.S. You're in doubt? Try not to spit it out until you've tested and found it bitter.
At least, I for one know that alcohol tastes bitter. That's why I've spat it out and subscribed to a healthy and more fulfilling route to relieving stress and pain in the body.
Keep Your Focus Sharp!
I think of focus and the image of a shooter comes to mind.
He kneels on a knee or two, gets a clear picture of the target and aim. Only after he has a sharp view of his target will he aim, lest he misses it.
In life, if you want to have a good shot, if you want to nail the target, you have to cut away distractions and remain focused. Focus on that big picture, focus on your vision, focus on making an impact.
Whatever it will cost you to remain focused, please pay. Even if you have to squat instead of kneeling, ensure you do. You have to nail it. You have to accomplish your objective on the planet.
Ensure you keep your focus sharp.
PROUD OF YOURSELF
I proud of everyone who is facing many problems in their life, but they moved forward and facing every problem, try to solve it. Your courage to solve problems inspires others. Whatever happens always proud of yourself, your heart.
Curb attempting to give life a quantity or a timeline or a passing date and just relish the sermons. Enjoy the lift,
Rejoice in the voyage..!!
