There are thousands of tips and psychological techniques to help you feel happy and learn to rejoice each day. But what if our own body had a say in the matter? Here are some findings from neuroscientists — the people who know exactly when and why your brain can give you the feeling of total satisfaction!

有成千上万的方法和心理技巧，来帮助你感到快乐，并学会享受每一天。但如果我们自己的身体在这件事上有发言权呢？以下是神经系统科学家的一些发现——他们知道你的大脑在什么时候、以及为什么能给你强烈的满足感！

#8.Engage in pleasant expectations 

第八，充满美好的期望 

The process of waiting for something nice, such as food or sex, is similar to the learned salivation response. Our brain experiences pleasure by simply anticipating the fun event. That’s why we’re so fond of counting the hours and minutes to some special moment — be it a birthday or a wedding, a meeting with a friend, or just an end to a long working day.

等待美好事物的过程，如食物或性，类似于习得性唾液反应（条件反射）。我们的大脑在充满期待的过程中，就能产生快乐。这就是为什么我们如此热衷于计算某个特殊时刻的到来——无论是生日、婚礼、与朋友会面，还是结束漫长的工作日。

#7.Solve problems one at a time 

第七，一次只解决一个问题 

Our brain never stops searching for solutions to every problem that worries us. This takes a lot of energy, so whenever the brain gets tired and the problem remains unresolved, we feel anxiety and irritation. On the other hand, for every right decision, our brain rewards itself with a dose of neurotransmitters that calm the limbic system and help us once again see the world in a better light. Therefore, you need to try to deal with one problem at a time. 

我们的大脑从未停止寻找解决问题的方法。这需要消耗大量的能量，所以每当大脑疲劳，问题仍未解决时，我们都会感到焦虑和不安。另一方面，对于每一个正确的决定，我们的大脑都会奖励自己一剂神经递质，它能使大脑边缘系统平静下来，帮助我们再次以更好的视角看待世界。因此，你只需要一次处理一个问题。
