What you want is activities that gently raise BE, not that create a huge surge of it. That can include exercise, even running, if you don't overdo it and push yourself way too hard. I exercise, but I increase my exercise level gradually. And I am not addicted to it.

: Interesting article about misery and
: BE levels. Seems like BE can be
: sparked for all kinds of reasons
: from misery to a runners high.
: Because an activity encourages a
: release of BE, does that always
: mean it is an addictive behavior?
: There must be another factor in
: the equation that creates an
: addiction. As many people don't go
: back to misery to get a BE rush or
: become a runner to get the BE
: rush. I don't know, just putting
: this out here.
