If you want to feel better about yourself achieve something

It's an instant high! 馃槂

That's literally hijacking your own brain chemistry to work for you. Dopamine is a chemical often associated with pleasure, but is also the same neurochemical responsible for motivation.

When you strive to achieve something, your brain starts releasing these chemicals to motivate you to keep going. With these chemicals now circulating through your synapses, you start to feel good about yourself because you're inadvertently activating the pleasure centers of your brain.

It lasts like 30 minutes and then you're after something else.

We're all programmed to never be happy

@Elessar It depends on the magnitude of the accomplishment. To save a life is everlasting joy.

That is why you should make your bed every morning.
You start your day with a sense of accomplishment.

Not to me, unfortunately. I usually just feel drained and thinking...okay? This is it? Because I'm not feeling it.
