Thinking

Posted almost 11 years ago , by Resmepls

Hey guys I have begun to notice as the day goes on at around 6-7 pm I start thinking deeper and deeper about completely irrelevant things, I seem to drift off into a realm of spontaneous thought and some times it annoys me and I get a negative outlook on things. I'll goto sleep that night wake up in the morning happy as ever and continue my day most of the time happier then normal and I go home and around 6-7 the whole process recurs. Any thought to be shared on this topic?

You could try exercising some maybe go running or something. I know it sounds kind of corny but it really helps me. Whenever you exercise things are released into your brain that make you happy like serotonin :)

If you start exercising, your brain recognizes this as a moment of stress. As your heart pressure increases, the brain thinks you are either fighting the enemy or fleeing from it. To protect yourself and your brain from stress, you release a protein called BDNF (Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor). This BDNF has a protective and also reparative element to your memory neurons and acts as a reset switch. That's why we often feel so at ease and like things are clear after exercising.

At the same time, endorphins, another chemical to fight stress, are released in your brain. Your endorphins main purpose are this, writes researcher MK McGovern:

"These endorphins tend to minimize the discomfort of exercise, block the feeling of pain, and are even associated with a feeling of euphoria."
There is a lot going on inside our brain and it is oftentimes a lot more active than when we are just sitting down or actually concentrating mentally:

So, BDNF and endorphins are the reasons exercise makes us feel so good. The somewhat scary part is that they have a very similar and addictive behavior like morphine, heroin, or nicotine. The only difference? Well, it's actually good for us."
