So what is happiness? Happiness is no more than a chemical reaction in the brain. The four chemicals that effect happiness are dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin, and endorphins which I will refer to as happiness chemicals. Now, There are endless ways to create these happiness chemicals in the brain. So you may ask yourself, why can’t we just always create these chemicals and always be happy? believe me, we try. But what happens when we create high levels of these happiness chemicals in the brain is, our brain builds up a tolerance. You will need more and more and more of those happiness chemicals to get that same feeling of happiness. You can see how this becomes a slippery slope of addiction. The same as with any drug. You build a tolerance and need more and more of it to get any effects. And what happens when you continue to chase those happiness chemicals is, your tolerance becomes so high, that all of the things that used to make you happy, no longer work. You lose the ability to feel happiness anymore. That is how so many people fall into a deep depression.
Some of the things that create high levels of these happiness chemicals:
The obvious ones being drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, gambling.
Some of the not so obvious ones: video games, social media, your phone, music, tv, and Netflix, and even food. These all create massive levels of happiness chemicals. The people who create these video games, social media sites know how to create these high levels of happiness chemicals, and use it to make you addicted, so they can get you to keep coming back for more and more.
