AFTERGLOW!

Hi, I've been doing mushrooms for the past few years. Usually 2-3 times a year. As I see it as a secrate act for working on my mental health and to understand myself. Recently I had a pretty rough time in life - mentally and physically I was on the edge. I stoped working out, overeating, smoking weed, wanting to get drunk every single night, poorly sleeping, etc. Felt like shit every day. All this - because I was under a lot of stress for about 4 months. Life happens. So I needed a reset. Last Sunday I had a wonderful 4g trip. Like always - learned a lot. Felt the urge to get back to my usual life - sleep, good nutrition, exercise.

Actually - next day I felt like newly born. I'm a few days after the trip and I have this "afterglow" (like always). However, this time I'm thinking a lot about it. In the past few days I was in situations where I would normally get angry, start a fight or would like to overeat or similar. But now my mind is so clear - that I do not do it. It's kind of a feeling that I'm disociated from my urges. I still feel them, but I'm not driven by it. I know that this afterglow will be over in a week or so. But now I feel that I have a "good brain chemistry". And I really like this version of me. I can't stop thinking is there any way how to be in this afterglow state all the time? Probably the answer is simple - no stress, sleep, nutrition, exercise. But a few days ago I was so miserable and after ingesting shrooms I feel so good. I feel it's a chemical change. Maybe somebody have read or imagine how to stay in this phase longer? And why I feel so good? I've read that psilocybin doesn't create or add serotonine as it's act as "serotinin". So what have changed? Is there scientifical explanation? Just to add I also micro dose from time to time with some blue honey I have made. However, I usually feel to active and snappy and might get into argument easy - it feels like after 6 espressos. So micro dosing doesn't give me this calm, clarity and control that I have now. Sorry for the long post. TLDR - shrooms are great!
