Weird effect after running

[Tim R]

This started happening to me a couple of weeks ago; every time I go for a run, when I stop running after around 2km (1,2miles) and start walking instead, the world suddenly becomes like on a trip, but without the visuals. 

Everything becomes absolutely beautiful, fascinating and interesting, more vivid, playful and easy. Especially the beauty of it all can really overwhelm me. I even made a post a while ago, right after this effect happened to me stronger than I've ever experienced it. Brought me to tears.

Why does this happen? Anybody else have this?

@Tim R Sounds fun, I've personally never had it. Although I will say, doing the wim hof breathing method creates a similar experience to what you described. The connection I'm trying to make is that maybe you breath in such a way that gives the same effects as the wim hof method. Maybe be more mindful of how you breath while running and compare it to one of your friends when you go running with them. 

Anyways, its cool to hear such an odd effect arising from just running!

@Tim R This happens to be often when I couple running with consistent meditation and some nootropics like Modafinil.

It's amazing!

This isn't weird. This is normal haha. 

If you ever run long distance like 100 mile or more, you'll get that runner's high. It's almost like Marijuana but better.
