I would have to say exercise is by far the best.

I have found that playing Squash is amazing for releasing them good Endorphines!
You really have to whack that ball hard
to get it around the court, and it can't go far!

:lol:

When i've done an hour in there, i'm pooped but I feel so good!
If you want to try a new sport, gotta try Squash!

Sex........of course - there's nothing better is there?
(Other than Chocolate of course!!.....)

:P

This is a bit of an old thread, but the only activity I've found that cheers me up and leaves me on a real high every single time is a Zumba class - it's like a Latin dance-based cardio workout - I'm totally addicted, and I'm not a very exrcisey person. I'd highly recommend it if there's a class near you and you don't mind wiggling your donkey! So to speak...

Eating a really, really hot pepper like a habanero. Its a little painful at first but it turns into an amazing feeling.

The word "Endorphin" comes from the two words, "endogenous + morphine." Endorphins are small, protein molecules that are produced by cells in your nervous system and other parts of your body. An important role of endorphins is to work with sedative receptors that are known to relieve common pain. These analgesia-producing receptors are located in your brain, spinal cord, and other nerve endings. Endorphins are not a single molecule, but actually come in several forms, and can be anywhere from eighteen to five hundred times as powerful as any man-made analgesic. And, they are non-addictive.

Listening to very chaotic music such as Breakcore or Noise and dancing around like a complete maniac! ImageImage
