# What happens to the brain when we win✅

# Random box # Kuromi # Hope

♪ What happens in the brain during "sheep power" → brain expectation? There is a very high secretion of Dopamine. It makes you feel excited, happy.

The fin will peak when "close to seeing."

Not after that.

Unboxing = happiness from "waiting + winning" rather than actually "getting of."

4/18 Edited to

... Read moreจากประสบการณ์ส่วนตัว ผมพบว่าความสุขจากการลุ้นและการรอคอยนั้นมีบทบาทสำคัญในความสนุกของกิจกรรมหลายอย่าง เช่น การแกะกล่องสุ่ม หรือ unboxing ที่หลายคนชื่นชอบ ซึ่งวิเคราะห์ทางจิตวิทยาแสดงให้เห็นว่าสมองจะหลั่งสารโดปามีนเมื่อมีการคาดหวัง (anticipation) โดปามีนเป็นสารสื่อประสาทที่เกี่ยวข้องกับความสุข การตื่นเต้น และแรงจูงใจ ซึ่งทำหน้าที่เสมือนตัวกระตุ้นให้เรารู้สึกว่าสิ่งที่จะเกิดขึ้นต่อไปนั้นมีความหมายและน่าตื่นเต้น การที่ความสุขพีคขึ้นในช่วงก่อนที่จะเปิดกล่องหรือลุ้นของ นั้นทำให้เราอยากเล่นซ้ำอีกและสร้างความทรงจำที่ดี นอกจากนี้ การลุ้นและรอคอยยังช่วยให้สมองมีการทำงานที่หลากหลาย เช่น การแก้ปริศนาเล็กๆ การคาดเดาผลที่เป็นไปได้ จึงส่งเสริมการคิดวิเคราะห์และเสริมสร้างประสบการณ์ทางอารมณ์ที่ดี ในชีวิตประจำวัน ผมมักใช้การลุ้นเป็นเครื่องมือคลายเครียด เช่น การดูเกมโชว์หรือเล่นเกมที่ต้องลุ้นผล ซึ่งทำให้สมองได้รับโดปามีนและผ่อนคลายอย่างมีประสิทธิภาพ เห็นได้ชัดว่าการลุ้นไม่ใช่แค่ความสนุกชั่วคราว แต่ยังเป็นส่วนหนึ่งที่ช่วยกระตุ้นสมองและเติมเต็มความสุขแบบลึกซึ้งที่เกิดจากการรอคอยและความคาดหวัง

no-contact is an essential part of breakup healing. many other coaches on social media have created a conversation about how no-contact is a tool to get your ex back, but I strongly decline that. no-contact is meant to have you detach from your ex and de-centre them from your life. when you stay in
