As a highly sensitive person you may notice that when good things happen, especially a lot of good things and you feel amazingly up and happy, the next day you might feel down, even depressed.
There is an explanation for this. When good things happen your endorphins (feel-good neurotransmitters) spike sky high and then…guess what? Afterwards, they plummet, sending you crashing emotionally, feeling down. Just like coming down from any high.
The remedy is a simple one, as those good things happen–and afterwards (and truthfully, as a lifestyle habit) be sure that you engage in activities that gently raise endorphin levels without spiking them, like: taking a walk, favorite music, warm bath, meditation, massage, playing with your doggie/kitty, painting or your favorite creative hobby, gentle exercise, yoga, gardening, talking and laughing with a good friend, a favorite fragrance, etc.
Making these a part of your daily lifestyle will soften the predictable fall in endorphin levels after amazing experiences and keep you feeling a lot more balanced. It’s a good idea to make your own list of favorite, effective ‘endorphin activities’ and care for yourself this way with awareness so you can truly THRIVE!

I have many, many pictures and pieces of things that bring me great joy scattered all over our home. Only a glance away to lift my spirits should I need that, along with your other excellent interactions. I always love your reminders that seem to pop up with great timing; thank you!
Lynn, I know what you mean! Those meaningful objects and pictures around us that remind us of our heart, our relationships, our experiences…. and raise our vibration instantly!! I love that you pointed this out….such an always-available way to care for ourselves and give those endorphins a bit of a gentle boost! Glad the timing of this post was good for you, you’re so welcome! Love you! ~Jan
Love it Janice! As we regularly entrain our bodies to high frequency energies, we won’t feel such a dip in our energy. It becomes our natural state of being. Really speaks to the importance of self-care 🙂
Great point, Nat!! The entrainment process will eventually bring us to a higher overall vibrational frequency and yes! the dips won’t be as dramatic as they are now. We’ll be high vibin’ along our paths! 🙂 Sacred Self Care is so essential to the evolving visionary! Thanks for stopping by and commenting! 🙂
