Honestly, I am most happy when something I did was successfully completed. Have a long day that I had to pack six doctor appointments for all family members in and it is now over? Absolutely a satisfying happy. Having a goal to get multiple chores done in a day and actually checking off everything on the list? A thrilling happy. Watching my kid’s performance in a dance recital after months of practices, rehearsals, getting gear, private lessons and all the drama that comes from her nerves? Sweet release of happiness as I watch her do what she loves.
Seeing things come together after stress and hard work is when I find myself to be happiest. The end of anticipation and worry, a chance to just revel in the conclusion of a moment in time.
I enjoy planning and working towards a goal. But the flood of endorphins from realizing the fruits of your labor is priceless.
