What Would Make Me Genuinely Happy?
"Eudemonic" is a little-used word that means "happy-making."
What are all the eudemonic activities you can think of?

"Eudemonic" is a little-used word that means "happy-making."
What are all the eudemonic activities you can think of?
Make a list.
How many of these happy-makers did you do yesterday, last week, this year?
Which ones can you indulge in today?
When you're facing a challenge, ask what would make you happy in this situation.
And cast a wide net.
You may have "taking a cruise" on your list, but if you also remember that "hanging out at the library" and "playing with my dog" are eudemonic for you, you get to be happy every day--and that's important.
What would make you happy now (that wouldn't make you unhappy later)?
Do that
