Endorphin helps us cope with stress and pain from "summary" of Habits of a Happy Brain by Loretta Graziano Breuning
Endorphin is a brain chemical that helps animals cope with stress and pain. When you do something that triggers endorphin, you feel pleasure instead of stress and pain. This pleasure is your brain's way of reinforcing a behavior that promotes survival. Endorphin is nature's way of helping you take care of yourself. When you face a challenge, your brain releases endorphin to help you cope. This chemical masks pain and triggers pleasurable feelings. When you overcome the challenge, endorphin gives you a feeling of accomplishment. This reinforces the behavior that helped you cope with the challenge. Endorphin is a reward for taking care of yourself. Endorphin is released in response to physical pain, but it's also triggered by social behaviors. When you connect with others in a positive way, your brain releases endorphin. This chemical makes you feel good, so you're more likely to seek social connections in the future. Endorphin is a tool your brain uses to reinforce behaviors that promote social bonding. Endorphin is a powerful motivator. Your brain seeks pleasure and avoids pain. When you engage in behaviors that trigger endorphin, your brain learns that these behaviors are good for your survival. This is why you're motivated to repeat behaviors that make you feel good. Endorphin helps you survive and thrive in a challenging world. Understanding the role of endorphin in coping with stress and pain can help you make healthier choices in your daily life. By engaging in activities that trigger endorphin release, such as exercise, socializing, or pursuing hobbies you enjoy, you can boost your mood and reduce stress. Endorphin is a natural tool your brain uses to help you navigate life's challenges.
