Need something to take your mind off the bills piling up? the phone calls from friends who have just been told to clear out their desks? your attempts to learn how to darn socks? Try endorphins. Here are three steps to (intermittent) ecstasy, plus an unbeatable role model:
ONE: Find something that stimulates your endorphins.
(My top three: martial arts, partner dancing, sex)
TWO: Become an expert in it.
(Barter for lessons, sign up at your local community ed, get a to-do DVD)
THREE: Practice daily and build up your speed and intensity.
(Exhilaration, breathlessness, orgasmic sensations all lead to endorphins)
My brilliant artist friend Sandy Oppenheimer (Want a portrait? You’ll never find a more unique artist) sent me this clip. While I’ve never been crazy about tear-away clothes, check out what endorphins do for this 80-year-old salsa dancer – or perhaps what this woman does for endorphins.
So when are we going dancing!! There is salsa all over town. I'll be back from FL the 4th - so please get your dancing shoes (and Gail and Donna) ready, let's get those endorphins in shape for spring!!
