I have done a lot of soul searching in my life lately. I have ruled out the things that no longer serve a purpose in my life or make me happy. The other day I sat down and wrote out what happiness feels like to me. Here are some things that I thought of:
1. Going to bed with a clear mind
2. Laughing
3. Even when something negative happens, still feeling okay and not feeling like it’s a crisis.
4. My body is calm and not filled with a million thoughts of doubt.
How about for you? What does happiness feel like for you?

Torry,
I love this topic! I think it is cool to reflect and think about what our happiness is really composed of. With that being said, I feel like my happiness comes from:
1). Me accomplishing something, such as getting a good grade on a test
2). Being able to sleep in and wake up feeling fully rested
3). Eating a meal I’ve been craving for a long time
4). Laughing so hard that I’m just left there clapping like a seal
5). Swimming
6). Getting anything Unicorn-related
7). When I know I’ve somehow, someway made a difference
