-Threads like this! Anything that can make me think along radically different lines, open doors on new perspectives and draw comparisons between seemingly unconnected events or information. I'm probably most happy deep in thought and being creative.
-Alcohol, but this is not recommended if you're not currently not in a happy state of mind.
-The glorious feeling after intense physical exercise.
-A cup of coffee in the morning.
-Pulling off my work boots after a long days work, having a hot shower and getting into bed knowing ill have a long sleep.
If I'm not happy. I need a triumph. I figured this out years ago. You need something to fall back on in times of great stress, anxiety and even depression. The triumph can be anything, you simply need to set a goal, no matter how small, and accomplish it. It helps if it's something you can build on, but don't set yourself up for failure, make it manageable. If you have something in your life causing you great stress, you need to find a way out, or a viable means to thoroughly alter what is at the heart of the problem.
Trying new things also helps I've found. If you get stuck in a pattern or a rut, the monotony will take it's toll. Try something completely new. Cook a new meal you've never tried, read a book you normally wouldn't, go for a hike to a new place, anything, just break the pattern!
