Do you feel lucky? Well do ya?...punk?
No but seriously...
1. When/where/with whom do you feel that you can be yourself and do so comfortably?
2. What/where/with whom do you feel sheer joy? What do you do or who do you talk to that you just feel an innocent happiness? e.g. riding your bike, listening to Bach, playing piano, hiking...whatever (not intoxication...something good without the shitty after-effects and complicated emotions attached)
3. What makes you excited like a little kid? Really excited? What do you feel passionate about?
4. If you don't really feel joy from anything that you used to feel joy doing, it might be time for therapy or medication...not to sound flippant, but seriously, that's a major sign of depression. OR you've just changed, and what used to give you joy doesn't any longer in which case you need to find new sources of excitement.
This list is a list of reminders for myself and anyone reading this.
THEN, once you (I) have figured this out, try to increase the amount of time for the things you (I) enjoy, and avoid the things/people/places that are unpleasant.
