Since I write about the importance of revealing deeper TRUTHs, it's best to admit how little I know about endorphins, like dopamine, seratonin and norepinephrine.
What I do know is this: Our body's ability to produce certain chemicals enhances our spirit's sense of well being, whereas the production of other chemicals, like cortisol, deepens one's sense of doom and gloom. So when writing about consciously rebalancing my attitude, I'm choosing to fuel my spirit with positively focused energy.
For instance, let's take yesterday: In hopes of relaxing the inflammation of my sciatic nerve, I consciously rebalanced my attitude toward spoiling myself throughout the day. Early in the evening, I partied with my four adult 'kids' and their friends. Upon being welcomed into the warmth of their embrace, the upbeat nature of their high spirited peals of laughter Proved contagious. Within this nurturing atmosphere of love, friendship, and good humored amusement, I must have produced an abundance of every endorphin known to medical science, because throughout the high jinxs of the evening, my pain was virtually anesthetized.
Just as anesthesia wears off in the aftermath of surgery, a throbbing sensation of pain resumed sometime during the night, but the buoyancy of my spirit did not deflate. And upon awakening this morning, last night's pain had lessened considerably, suggesting a lessening of inflammation.
When positive focus combines with the glowing forces of love, friendship and endorphins, it's easy to set painful limitations to the side and appreciate blessings, which make my heart smile. Ohmmm :)
