What does our brain love most?

time Creation date 31.03.2025

Why are new experiences so engaging, and why does our favourite music make us want to move? At Club32, we are interested not only in healthy smiles but also in what gives us reasons to smile. This time, we explore the connection between novelty, movement, and the enjoyment of connecting with others.

In this article, we reflect on what draws our brains to different activities and how a single pursuit can bring together several sources of joy. Read on - you might find an idea for making an ordinary day more enjoyable.

Movement, novelty, and joy for the brain

Receiving, experiencing, or creating something new is the brain's main reward. Above all, we love new things that improve life. These can be new knowledge, new actions, or new relationships. Any changes that make life better, or at least do not make it worse.

This is the first part of the answer.

The second is movement.

During movement, 2/3 of the brain's neurons are active. This is the maximum possible activation. And this is not surprising. Our body is a mega-complex mechanism, and moving it in three-dimensional space requires the lion's share of available computing resources.

We should also remember that all our movements are triggered by dopamine. The same molecule also stimulates the zone of positive emotions. That is why we love movement so much.

And now let us add the fourth dimension - time - and one of the main human needs - socialization - and we will get the final answer.

Most of all, we love movements that are precisely calculated in space and time and provide socialization.

There are several activities that meet these requirements:

  • Dancing
  • Martial arts
  • Team sports
  • Dancing comes first because it is less traumatic.

So, if you are in a bad mood or simply tired of all the surrounding chaos - dance.

After that, you will definitely want to smile.
