Why Does The World Seem So Bland? The Reason You’re Not Enjoying Your Life Anymore
You’re on drugs.
Well… not drugs per se, but it has the same effect as being on drugs.
What’s currently going on inside your head is a result of an overstimulation of endorphins.
Allow me to explain:
Our minds release endorphins, or “feel-good hormones” whenever we get positively stimulated. This can be through sex, drugs, alcohol, but even through TV, Video games, and any other form of entertainment. Basically everything that makes us feel good is due to this release of endorphins.
In our normal lives this release is a very good thing, but when it is overstimulated we get a reverse effect. When you first use a drug the effect is amazing! It’s like a pinball machine going on inside your head! It’s full of colors, sounds and other stimulations that make you feel amazing!
You forget about the world around you and go on a ‘Trip’ into a different world.
Your mind releases a lot of endorphins during this time, making you feel incredibly good!
The problem is that the effects go away eventually, dropping you back into reality. Your brain ceases to release the endorphins and you feel normal again. However, this time feeling “normal”…
