I can imagine people having fun getting lost in the flow of playing a competitive sport. I’ve also heard some people experience a post-workout high. But does anyone actually feel pleasure in the moment while lifting weights, jogging, cycling, etc?

If so… what does it feel like? Is there anything the rest of us can do to cultivate such a mindset?

    Yep, I prefer to taste all of the nuances of the food that I am eating, instead of trying to chemically burn off my taste buds

      My gf says this. But when I eat spicy food, it doesn’t interfere with the taste whatsoever. I also love the taste of really hot coffee when I’m eating something spicy. Something about the double burn really enhances the flavor.

        I love spicy food but a hot beverage with it sounds awful. I don’t like carbonation with spicy food either though
