Research has shown that the brain changes when you are in a positive emotion. When you experience negative emotions, your brain shuts down and focuses on your negative feelings. This prevents you from being able to see opportunities or choices. Conversely, when you are in a positive emotion, your brain is more open and able to perceive other options. A study by Barbara Fredrickson has confirmed this. She divided her subjects into 5 groups and showed them different film clips to test their reaction to positive emotions.
