Step 17: Do Not Forget About Worldly Pleasures

Sex and masturbation, that is. Sexual activities are more beneficial that what you
might think. People who do not have much sexual activities are generally sadder
and more prone to depression and anxiety. This is because they come short (pun
unintended) with pleasure hormones produced in great quantities during sexual
activities.

Higher level of serotonin, a hormone that regulates mood, is associated with
more accurate decision-making and better creativity. Oxytocin, on the other
hand, is typically associated with better problem-solving skills. In addition to
those benefits, they also neutralize stress hormones that as you already know,
slows down the cognitive function of the brain.

Other experts conclude that sex greatly increases oxygen level in the brain,
making your gray matter more efficient. The good mood you get alone is already
enough to set the tone for a more conducive learning activity.
