Why post-rave afterglow is pure magic

After a full-on night or weekend of positive party antics, you may feel happy and fulfilled for days afterwards. Even if it only lasts a few hours after you’ve left the club, that afterglow is a feeling like no other.

You might carry that feeling into the working week, wearing a cheeky smile on the commute while everyone else looks miserable. Or you might inject a cheery mood into a dreary family get together. If your experience is really profound, you’ll feel it for months afterwards. Whatever you do, and however it manifests itself, the post-rave afterglow is pure magic. Here’s why…

UNIQUE MEMORIES
From the DJ dropping a mind-blowing tune at the perfect moment, to being silly with your mates all night, raves are the catalyst behind totally unique memories that feed into that uplifting afterglow.

SENSE OF ACHIEVEMENT
You’ve made it through to the other side. Whether you’ve left before closing time or stayed the distance, you’ve got yourself out, partied, (hopefully) had a great time, and now you’re home and feeling that deep sense of achievement.

HAPPY HORMONES APLENTY
A night out dancing, listening to great music and spending time with a good crew of people is the perfect recipe for stimulating the production of feel good hormones. When you get home the dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin and endorphins are still bouncing around in your system, bliss…

EMOTIONAL RELEASE
Though you may not be conscious of it, raving can aid the release of pent up emotions. Dancing especially can trigger somatic release, and the music itself can elevate your mood. You shed the tension, and leave with a wonderful afterglow.
