Are you doing things you are passionate about? Do you value your mind and do you do things to stimulate it? Are you laughing and smiling? Those things don't come with working out, but they have EVERYTHING to do with happiness and respect of who you are. And yet everyone emphasizes so much "working out" when it's a tiny part of a way bigger picture.

I would say I'm pretty much happy other than my weight. I don't always like to work, but I like my job. I could start writing more again. I love to laugh and make others smile. I have my moods, but I'm usually charaterized by the people who know me as being very optimistic. Working out and eating right are habits I'm working on developing. I don't always enjoy working out, but I definitely like the way I feel afterwards.
