Well said excitedbylife!
All the happy, balanced people I know make time to exercise and eat well. They aren’t obsessive but smart in the way they fit activity in.

Totally agree about the “fit and healthy body” giving you happiness. Exercise always gives me a natural high and motivation for the rest of the day. I think also that forming habits like regular exercise helps with self-esteem and confidence because you are accomplishing something and seeing the results over time.

Wow, sounds fascinating Linea,
Quality of thoughts is a big one. If you could give your thoughts a ‘thumbs up’ or a ‘thumbs down’ as far as their effect on your quality of life, would your day have more thumbs up, or more thumbs down??

I like the idea of a happiness roadmap to help us all on our way to a happier life and I agree that money has nothing to do with happiness. I recently read an article by Med Yones, a happiness mentor, which states that the degree of lifestyle change to become happier depends on the following formula: Degree of Change = Degree of education + Degree of experience
Quality of change = (Quality of thoughts) + (Quality of environmental reinforcing feedback). For more information see http://www.lifehappiness.org/lifehappinesscoachingfaq/index.htm

Thanks Peter,

Yes fulfillment comes in many forms, most of which are free if we are just open to receiving them!

Hi Amelia, this is a great insight. It’s a handy checklist and I might use it next time I need to “re-center”.

Isn’t it interesting how many of the things on the list are things that fall by the wayside when we think we are looking for “fulfillment”
