All parts of the brain are working all the time in one way or another. But it seems like the limbic system (amygdala, basal ganglia, etc.) has the most impact on how you see things and feel about them because that is the center of emotion. The way you behave is very closely related to emotion. If you are sad, you may chose to take a nap instead of study, if you feel lonely, you may call friends instead of watch tv, etc.
Also, you may avoid some things that you remember made you feel negatively in the past. Like, you may choose carrots over broccoli as your vegetable becasue you feel disgusted towards broccoli, since you got sick last time you ate it.
