• Honestly, what makes you feel great?

• Because it probably isn't what you would think.

• For me, it's eating healthy, going to the gym, working on projects, getting a full night's sleep, taking care of myself, learning new skills.

• Yes, I do occasionally love eating a bunch of donuts, pizza, or cookies. But usually it is to the point of extreme excess, which also comes with hating myself, feeling sick, and not feeling good.

• Yes, I have momentary joy while eating those foods, but overall they lead to more sadness than joy.

• The key is to keep feeling great. Keep doing the things that make you feel great and they build on each other. You're able to do more and more of the things that make you feel great and you feel ever greater.

• I struggle with this because when things aren't momentarily great, I seek out the thing that will bring me immediate satisfaction rather than the things that will bring me long term enjoyment and satisfaction.

• This is something I work on and want to continue to work on.

• Don't stop feeling great. Figure out the things that make you feel great and keep doing those things.

• I'm excited to share my progress and I hope you'll come along on the ride.
