Very Happy

How often do you feel very happy? Not just mild happy, or okay happy, but very happy? Identify when you experience real joy, as opposed to just pleasure and satisfaction. This list is about when you feel a complete sense of wholeness, peace, and fulfillment.

What has this inquiry taught you about yourself?
It has taught me that I have let myself become a lot happier recently and I have let go of some of the things that were blocking it for me. There are still a few things I need to improve upon and take time to enjoy. This exercise was somewhat easy. I do believe I recognize and appreciate some of the moments when I feel good.
