Happiness can be categorized in two approaches:
The hedonistic approach, which is psychological theory, which describes happiness as final goal of life, and the cognitive theory that describes life-satisfaction as a “Personal assessment of one’s condition compared to an external reference standard or to one’s aspirations”.
However, happiness is not a place to live in, but it is a place to visit. It is the type of emotion, which you cannot have permanently even if you want to, because if you do, you will not be able to identify other types of emotions or feelings.
Question that we are about to discuss is, do the brains play an important role in helping humans to be happier?

Formula for Happiness
Positive psychology helps in replenishing some of the neurotransmitters by strengthening and activating the positive areas in your brains. By practicing positive psychology, it helps the brain to grow and mature positively. It strengthens the neuron-to-neuron projections and their pathways. This in return, helps to develop more pathways resulting in more fiber networks.
This practice can and should be done at a very young age. Children who are more active and exposed to their environment—by participating in sports, playing with educational or mathematical toys and puzzle—tend to be more active and alert. Simply think of these neurotransmitters as a railway track. If you do not utilize the track, it will rust.
Positive psychology also includes getting more pleasure in life and learning your purpose in life. Showing acts of kindness and sense of gratitude, and writing them in your journal will teach yourself to appreciate life better.

Communication/Interpersonal relationships are equally important. According to research, one of the many factors that make people happy are their friends and family members. If you observe, you will notice that many good relationships happen because of good communication between individuals—whether it is at home, at work or even in the social life. The same applies to your brain too. One neuron “talks” to another neuron in their neuronal language. If they do not communicate, the brain will malfunction.

Food and Mood also play a role. Take in good food and take out the toxic ones. Bananas are recommended because they have a lot of serotonin in it. Many of these foods have different kind of amino acids, which result in the production of serotonin, dopamine, etc. Detoxify your body occasionally because it helps clear the toxins out of your body.

Glucose/sugar balance is most important for the brain to function. The brains cannot be without sugar even for a few seconds. Diabetics especially need them because when there is a low glucose level, it can cause coma.

Meditation also helps to replenish our system because meditation keeps you focused and centered. Once your thoughts are more focused and energies are utilized efficiently, you can become more emotionally controlled.
