The rush of endorphins…oh…how that has altered my mind over the years. And the need for the rush has certainly gotten me into trouble over the years. But it has also calmed me. At times. Natural endorphins can stop the pain. Can create a euphoric high.
I find there are several ways we release.
Crying. Sweating. And, yes, orgasms. Anything to get the heart rate up and the blood flowing.
Sometimes, all we need is a good cry. The release of tears changes us. We can go from one emotional state to another with a good cry. I mean a really good cry. But did you know that tears are different themselves? Molecularly speaking. I read a fascinating article about the different types of tears. Tears of grief. Tears from foreign objects. Tears of change. Tears of laughter. This article blew me away. Henry Cloud is doctor whom I found doing research. Losing a loved one. Oh the pain it causes. Cutting an onion makes us cry. Moving. Changing schools. Altering our moods. Change. Oh the tears caused by change. And, then, of course, there’s tears of laughter. Those are the best tears! What an endorphin release. When is the last time you laughed so hard, you couldn’t stop the tears. Oh, how I love those tears. Seems as tho most of my tears in the past few years have come from grief. Loss. Pain. I need a good laugh. I need to feel those tears streaming down my cheeks. Oh…how I need those tears.
I work out a lot. I get this euphoric high skating. I love the feel of sweat rolling down my back. My chest. My legs. Another release of endorphins for me. After a good workout, I feel so much better. Sometimes getting me there is a challenge but I ALWAYS feel better after a really good sweat.
Orgasms. Now, that is a rush my body craves. A good orgasm after a hangover can make a big difference. My mood is always altered after an orgasm. But have you ever combined all three? A good sweat, a good cry and an orgasm? Surely, most people sweat when engaging in sex. Have you ever cried after sex? After an orgasm. I can only wonder what those tears look like under a microscope. Would they look like tears of grief because you are all alone having sex with yourself? Or would they look like tears of laughter? The good kind? Or tears of change because you just completely altered your mind. I doubt they look like those tears of a foreign object like when you cut an onion.
I’ve had several good cries after a orgasm. I wonder what prompts me to cry. I simply can’t control it. It’s just another rush of endorphins in my body. I crave the rush. I crave the natural highs.
