It was not originally designed to enjoy happiness. So we must persistently and purposefully strive to experience happiness. This is the beginning and end of today's topic. Across all cultures and throughout human history, there are six basic emotions that we all experience: joy, sadness, anger, surprise, disgust, and fear. Of these, only joy is considered a positive emotion. Negative emotions, among other things, are characterized by high intensity. This is why it is difficult for us to experience joy, but very easy to feel sadness or even self-hatred. For the brain, which was programmed for survival, it is more important to consider threats and negative events than to focus on joy and positivity. 30 years ago, the founder of social neuroscience, psychologist John Caccioppo, demonstrated in his studies of brain waves that the brain tends to attach more importance to negative information. Since then, numerous studies have repeatedly confirmed this fact. So don’t trust your brain. For 7 million years, it has been tuned to stress, anxiety, and survival. But even if it seems difficult to you now, you can create a new path for yourself – more evolutionary and harmonious. Today, I suggest you try two methods: savoring and finding joy. Enjoy the moment. At first, it may not be easy. Create a habit for yourself. Experiencing something and realizing its meaning and value are tasks for different areas of the brain. But when you try to combine these processes, the brain begins to build new neural connections. Different neurons that used to work separately now unite and begin to interact as a single team: “experience the event + enjoy it and feel gratitude.” #Namjoon ❀° ━─━───┄♡───────╮ @btsarmyinfochannel· . . ˚  ✧　　 ╰───────┄♡━─━──── ❀
