In order to look at how a brain in love functions, Fisher and her team used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). This technique allowed them to take snapshots of the brain while volunteers were shown photographs of their lover. When looking at the brains of men or women who were happily in love, Fisher found that specific regions associated with goal‐oriented behaviours lit up. This suggested to her that love is not an emotion but a motivation. Being in love motivates you to be with your lover. This is the biological basis of falling madly in love (in a nutshell).

Embrace Your Bad Moods
When the clouds roll in, there’s no need to beat yourself up about it. Regular ups and downs are part of your mind’s natural process -- and can be a great opportunity for growth. "All of our emotional states, all of our mood states, have to play a role that is beneficial to us or they would never have survived evolution," says Markman. "If you wake up one day feeling stressed or sad, ask yourself, 'Is this [feeling] trying to tell me something?'"
Some mental health professionals believe that’s exactly what a mood depression is meant to do: Tell you something. During a depression, you tend to slow down, withdraw and ruminate, giving you time and space to identify a problem in your life. Getting back on track requires that you start thinking and behaving in new ways, challenging you to grow and change.
