LOVE!

4565068562_237x313It’s true! All you need IS love! Let’s all fall in love just because!

Paulo Coelho said, “Love makes all things precious, including you. It eliminates all constraints. Love is without limits, conditions, judgments, and hidden agendas.”

When a person falls in love, the ventral area of the brain floods with dopamine (Mmm dopamine!). This feels quite nice. The urge to fall in love is, like sex and hunger, a primitive, biological drive.

Love heightens your well-being! It lowers stress, lengthens and strengthens your life, boosts immunity, reduces negative energy and feels oh so good!!

People who give/receive more hugs, produce more oxytocin (cuddle hormone). It has a powerful effect on cardiovascular health and lowers blood pressure!

Love and hugs have super power! Do it for your health! Men in love show more activity in the visual part of the brain, while women in love show more activity in the part of the brain that governs memory.

Love is a blissful emotion and people seek that out. Euphoria-triggered attraction alters brain chemistry, which is why love can also make us totally insane!

“You know you’re in love when you can’t fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.” -Dr. Seuss Awww!

Sometimes love bites, but it’s still worth it. The feeling of being in love outweighs that of being crushed, doesn’t it?

“The neurological effects of withdrawing from a romantic relationship ignite regions of the brain that are similar to withdrawal from a cocaine addiction.” (Psychology Today) Oh well.

“The power of love is a curious thing.” -Huey Lewis

“If I had a flower for every time I thought of you…I could walk through my garden forever.”             -Alfred Tennyson

“And still, after all this time, the Sun has never said to the Earth, “You owe me.” Look what happens with love like that. It lights up the sky.” -Rumi, of course

“A loving heart is the truest wisdom.” -Charles Dickens

“Life is the flower for which love is the honey.” -Victor Hugo

“If you judge people, you have no time to love them.” -Mother Teresa

“If you want love, you gotta give love awaaay!” -MC Yogi

I love LOVE and I love you!
