Fuel for the day
Many of us excel in one or a few particular areas in life. As such, we know exactly what we need to do to perform the best each time. If you are in to nutrition, you know that the types of foods, vitamins, and supplements you put into your body, largely determine how you are going to feel that day. If you are a surfer, you understand that the shape of your rocker, foam volume, blank, and foil are all going to determine how well you hang ten.
Just like these examples - life is what you put into it. Our happiness is not just some genetic poker hand we were dealt at birth. Yes, some can argue that each of us are equipped with a happiness set point, and some scientists theorize that one can only deviate within a statistical range of their genetic set point. However, there are many things we can “tweak” to raise our own set point throughout the day. Whether it's music, play, art, building, sports, hobby, fun - be sure to engage in at least one activity that you love each day.
