The Role of Physiology in Maintaining Elevated Emotional States

TLDRElevated emotional states require an elevated oxidative state in the body, which is often disrupted by addictive behaviors. These behaviors, such as drinking, smoking, and drug use, provide temporary highs but ultimately drag individuals back into low emotional states. By focusing on purpose and maintaining a healthy physiology, individuals can achieve and sustain elevated emotional states.
