If you want to increase your endorphin levels, there are
several things you can try:
Go outside and get some exercise.
Expose yourself to a little sun light. (This becomes more
important as days grow shorter.)
Eat more complex carbohydrates, like whole grains and
vegetables.
Choose foods with tryptophan, like turkey, eggs, nuts and
salmon.
Reduce stress.
Pet your dog or cat.
Hug a loved one.
Make a donation to a good cause, or help someone in need.
Practice yoga or meditation.
Listen to your favorite music (or make some music of your
own).
Get a massage, or give one.
Give someone a complement, or tell someone you love them.
Spend time with your friends.
October 5th is Do Something Nice Day. It occurs to me that this
list is just full of nice things you can do. Isn’t it gratifying that doing
something nice can also make you feel good?
