MASSAGE HELPS RELEASE DOPAMINE!
These days we have developed unhealthy habits as a way to seek out a dopamine hit. Scrolling on social media, shopping addictions, food and alcohol addictions, are all ways in which we try to make ourselves feel better. But really it is just disengagement from how we feel and avoidance of truly living our lives and being present with ourselves and others.
Massage is a much healthier choice when you want to make yourself feel better. It stimulates the nervous system to help it shift from a “fight or flight” (sympathetic) state to a “rest and digest” (parasympathetic) state. It helps to reduce cortisol the stress hormone and increases our feel good pleasure hormone dopamine. 😌
