Flying paragliders and paramotors. After I land and go home for the day I feel the happiest I have ever known.
Hyperfixation, where you watch a really good movie or read a really good book and it starts to color everything around you
When the code finally works, the computer issues are fixed, the kitchen is cleaned.
If you get good enough at playing guitar, especially acoustic, you can literally buzz. It’s only really apparent when you stop that you can feel that buzz fade away.
Teaching: That moment when someone’s eyes light up and their whole facial expression changes from confusion to understanding. I love the challenge of figuring out how to reach that with each person.
Dancing or working out to my favorite songs: It feels like my body is taken over by the music, and I can keep going endlessly while everything else fades away.
When I finish doing a lot of chores or one big one!
Scoring a goal or winning a close sports game.
Rollercoasters.
Shikantaza meditation So smooth
Probably just picking up a cat and hugging, and when your cat just rubs against you.
And also flying drones and imagine you are a bird soaring through the sky.
FPV would be best, but even just those normal drones where you use for photography is still fun to just zoom around your neighborhood.
I once flew like 4km from a nearby park. I also once forgot about the tailwind then stuggle to fight against the find to fly back so I lost the drone because it eventually ran out of battery, felt like I trying to land a passenger plane that’s running out of fuel lol
What’s my favorite high?!
non-drug
Aight imma head out
Wait but… what do I do with all my notes?
Fresh clear water when you’re alarmingly thirsty.
Its like wine on your wedding dayyyyy

Sex
Being of use to someone else - something as simple as opening a door or something as hard as helping someone change a tire on the road. That karma is like a hit of the stuff I don’t do anymore.
Having a really good piss
I once heard this one from an Italian and didn’t understand it until I experienced it … a big heavy pasta meal in the evening, then strong espresso coffee in the morning, then have the most massive #2 happen all at once as quickly as possible. This only happens if you keep up a healthy diet, plenty of exercise and everything is working just right. It’s disgusting to talk about and describe but absolutely refreshing and even invigorating to pass that much material from your body.
I wonder how many people were actually “activated” that way ha
I’ve had a body high from a poo, it is pretty remarkable, but the lead up was different and not something I want to repeat. Maybe I will try some Italian food!
The goosebumps you get from that part of a song
For me it’s the goosebumps you get to the Goosebumps theme song.
My favorite is when my goose bumps Goosebumps theme and gets goosebumps.
