Imagine harnessing these for the birth of your baby! They are known as Endorphins.
In normal labour the body secretes these naturally enhancing relaxants. ⠀
Endorphins are considered natural painkillers because they activate opioid receptors in the brain that help minimise discomfort. They can also help bring about feelings of euphoria and general well-being.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Wanna know the BEST bit? You can actively do things to increase the release of endorphins.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
HOW do you do this? It's simple - think happy thoughts, smile, smell things you love, listen to your favourite song, have a massage...all these everyday things that make us feel good. Because the 'feel good' is the release of endorphins.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Whether you are in labour or not, and want to improve your mood and feel a sense of beautiful relaxation - just stop, take a moment and indulge your senses and you will get an instant boost.⠀⠀⠀
