Brain Arhitecture
Our brain architecture is made out of two big components:
- Brainsteam and Limbic System. This system is all about learning by repetition and association.
- Cerebral Cortex is the outer layer of neural tissue of the cerebrum of the brain in humans and it mostly consists of the six-layered neocortex. This part of the brain is responsible for complex processes ( self-control, self-learning ), logical thinking and also for taking rational decisions.

Brainsteam
Repetition
- Our brain will get used to our main activities and will expect a certain feeling from it
Association
- Our brain will look forward to events that used to make us happy ( because those types of events are releasing dopamine ) and will avoid the opposite, events that had a bad impact on us ( those types of events are releasing cortisol, which is a stress hormone )

Negativity bias
When facing a situation with an equal intensity, things of a more negative nature have a greater effect on one's psychological state and processes than neutral or positive things.
It means that positive outcome will generally have less of an impact on a person's behavior and cognition than something equally emotional but negative.
