“In springtime, love is carried on the breeze. Watch out for flying passion or kisses whizzing by your head.” ~Terri Guillemets
What is going on?
Although
the official medical causes of spring fever have not yet been fully identified,
doctors and scientists agree that it has to do with hormones. According to this
theory, in the springtime, when the days become longer and warmer, you're being bombarded by pleasant, exciting, new
stimulants, such as sunlight, vibrant colors, warmth, smells, and the body
readjusts its hormone levels, and more endorphin- “the happiness hormone”,
testosterone and estrogen are released, which affect both your mood, your
libido, the way you feel, even the way you look. Testosterone has been accorded
vast powers by scientists, as the libido hormone, the aggression hormone and
the dominance hormone. But ladies, don’t think this does not affect you!
Testosterone levels affect both male and female libidos. (Thank God)
As soon as temperatures
start to climb, we start shedding clothing and showing skin. Yes, it’s
practical, because of the weather, but it's also display behavior, a sort of
subconscious sign that you’re trying to attract a “mate”, — like the peacock flaunting
its tail. The days are longer, and the weather is nice, so we spend more time
socializing, so there is ample opportunity for mate-hunting. So the
consequences are not surprising.
But spring is not
just about the weather getting warmer. It is a simple miracle, which we take
for granted: it is a full rebirth of nature. Spring is the time that everything
comes back to life. And what says “life”, more than love?
“To live fully is to let go and die with each passing moment, and to be reborn in each new one.” Jack Kornfield
So, take a chance, and enjoy the moments full of
joy and bliss that spring gives us! Go lie out on the grass, drink some
ice-coffee from your nearest Starbucks (nothing makes me happier than a
Frappuccino) And be sure to spread the love and happiness to your friends and
family. Just like “misery loves company”, the opposite is also true: smiling is
addictive, and also highly contagious. So go ahead… there is never enough
happiness in the world.
