Let’s talk about drugs.

Drugs that make you happy.

No…not recreational drugs.

I have not gone off the proverbial deep end.

We are gonna look at some of the basic chemical processes in the brain designed to create the sensation we call “pleasure.”

We have touched on this lightly in the past but we are going to take a deeper dive today as we are in the midst of the summer season.

Your body, more particularly, your brain has a set of natural processes designed to make you feel good under certain stimuli.

Certain intersections of behaviors will literally tell your brain to activate your pleasure centers and release dopamine.

Dopamine is our brain’s natural “happy” chemical and it is vital for our continued health and happiness.

There are known ways to trigger your brain to release these chemicals and improve your state of well-being.

This episode starts a mini-series on the three circles of overall wellness.

Today’s focus is the circle of our physical health and how our brain assists in those processes.

As I always say, Give Yourself Grace and Know Your Limits.
