> My best bet for fast relief seems to be about an hour of very intense excercise- like biking outdoors in the sun on an uninterupted path. That seems to get enough endorphins going and for them to last for awhile, and I end up feeling all ironed and wringed out, too. So my body feels nicer to live in, at least for awhile. Plus I like the feeling of satisfaction that I accomplished something tangible. As a special bonus, if I end up enjoying the weather or feel happy with myself for getting out, I sometimes start smiling, and people will inevitabley then smile back- and that's a super-boost.
Yes that is true.Accomplishing something tangible.I remember quitting smoking and running and feeling so good.I also remember being out doing this really physically hard job,and the feeling of exhaustion mixed with feeling so good at the end of each day.
