Happiness Revisited

We got a handout today in class and it's an article called Happiness Revisited. It is about what makes us happy, what is happiness, experiences we encounter, and so on.  After the reading, there were 5 questions to be answered.

1. When do you feel most happy?
• I feel most happy when I'm spending time with friends and family, playing music, learning some new and exciting, when I'm outside in the middle of nature and taking in it's beautiful surroundings...!
2. React/Respond to article.
• My response to this article is that it was very interesting with detailed information and it made some good points that you would definitely agree on or even get you thinking about some things.
3. Where are you on the flow chart?
• I would say I fall somewhere in-between high and low on the challenges and skills axes because I like to do things that might give me a challenge or learn new skills, but I'm not at the point where I'll turn down every challenge or get bored because I have a lot of skills. I know for sure I will keep challenging myself and learning new things; and I'll do it in my own way.
4. How has this changed/ remained the same throughout the course of your project?
• How this has remained throughout the course of my project is that even though I may have some hard days or I didn't do as well as I wanted to, I know there is always room for improvement.
5. How can you achieve flow?
• I think I may have achieved flow already. The definition of flow - the state in which people are involved in an activity that nothing else seems to matter; the experience itself is so enjoyable that people will do it even at great cost, for the sheer sake of doing it, is pretty much the summary of why I love running. Even though it may hurt sometimes, or we get running injuries, runners will find ways to push themselves or speed up that recovery so that they can get back to what they love doing .
