To understand why our brain doesn’t want us to be happy, we need to first look at the role that our brain plays in our survival.

The brain’s primary function is to keep us alive, which means prioritizing survival over happiness. Basically, the brain is designed to keep us safe, not happy.

Think of the brain as a primal survival machine. When we’re born, the brain is preprogrammed to seek out things that will help us survive. This includes finding food and water, avoiding danger, and seeking shelter. The brain is constantly scanning our environment for any potential dangers so that it can keep us safe.

This constant focus on safety can sometimes get in the way of our happiness. For example, let’s say you’ve been offered a great job opportunity across the country. The thought of starting a new adventure and pursuing your passion excites you, but at the same time, it’s a major change. Your brain might start going into overdrive, anticipating all the things that could go wrong. It might worry that you won’t have enough money, won’t make enough new friends or won’t like the new environment leading you to abandoning your happiness.

Another analogy is that our brains are like old ancestral equipment. Imagine you’re a caveman living in prehistoric times. Your main concern is finding food and safety so that you can survive and pass on your genes to the next generation. Anything that takes away from that feat would not be allowed. The brain tends to assume risks as threats, and threats as fear. Your brain might convince you these risk factors increase discomfort.

Similarly, the brain would rather you stay safe in a comfortable job that may not be your happiness. The fear of failure, anguish, or drawing away from safety points like earning a very stable income keeps you anchored and focused on keeping the status quo, even when you know you aren’t happy, depriving you of a happier existence.

However, it’s important to remember that not all risks have to be dangerous or harmful. Risks can also lead to opportunities and promote growth. Pushing forward through these risks over time with courage, perseverance, and a clear mindset, the fundamentals are like re-calibrating the controlling limits of a machine and reforming how the brain defines what constitutes danger or safety.

So, what can we do to make sure our brain is aligned with happiness rather than danger? Psychology studies suggest visualizing your ideal future and the happy life you seek, taking small chances while maintaining a sensible level of security, practicing self-compassion, and constantly monitoring your mental health.

Additionally, be gentle but persistent in changing your self-talk and acknowledging positive growth and where you have advanced in that pursuit while respecting yourself on the path to happiness.# The process can feel defeating if we don’t give ourselves the space to celebrate our growth along the path to happiness.

The human brain plays a critical role in our mental and emotional wellbeing while shutting down risks but putting in a purposeful balance. Your brain doesn’t have a malicious intent to keep you from happiness. Instead, it is wired to need safety and caution in any situation to ensure your survival. Recognizing and accounting for the fear that our brains acknowledge is crucial to advancing our sense of safety and risking our self-development purely. Our brain is essential as a machine for survival but learning to acknowledge and put in place more precise boundaries that conform to our hopes and wants builds a foundation for our happiness.
