What makes you happy?
What makes you happy in your life? For me, it is: my pet, the 30 minutes I work out every day, and reading.
Fairly boring hobbies. My work is fine but I feel like I'm not a genius and will work hard but day-to-day can be a grind. What about you guys?
Dude, who cares if your hobbies are 'boring'? The important thing is that you derive joy from them, not for other people to give you a thumbs up in casual conversation
Hobbies that make me happy -- reading, golf, casual gaming, resistance training, mindlessly watching some anime, traveling to foreign countries, hiking. Hoping to pick up an instrument again after I finish the CFA
My work brings me a lot of satisfaction, lot of analysis and thinking. Kind of like when you put a puzzle together and it comes out right, there's an amazing feeling there -- doubly so when you think you have an insight & can get paid for it
The thing that brings me the most happiness though is my friends & family. Am lucky enough to have incredible parents and 4 best friends who would do most anything for me (and I in turn). Atm biggest thing I'm working on is trying to meet more quality people in my geographical area to hang out on a more day to day basis. One thing I've realized as I grow older is I'm just no longer satisfied hanging out with random people who I just get shitfaced with, really valuing people with whom I could see myself golfing with or just sitting out front with a couple beers & chilling with. I don't think most people are very deliberate about their friendships -- not a bad thing in your 20s but as you age I can see this becoming a more important dynamic
Buck, fuck, luck.
Respect from men, love from family, sex with women, time with friends
Yesterday I did a really hard intensity ride on the indoor cycle, burning 1,687 calories in 2hrs with an average HR of 171 and peak HR of 181. It was a hard effort for me, but my girlfriend was there cheering me on and really helped me hang on until the end. Had the music blasting on my Bose speakers and was very challenging, but rewarding. She cooked salmon and scallops for me and overall this made me happy. It was a nice training day.
I took a bunch of caffeine though - an ungodly amount to stay fresh during the ride and had to take some benzos to chill out a bit after as I was straight up wired.
Felt great today though. Got in a good light 98 min session and am going to try for a long ride tonight. I’m cutting and had a calorie deficit yesterday and cut some weight. Aiming for another calorie deficit day today with maybe eating only some leftover scallops and beef bone broth with celery.
So overall training hard and getting fit makes me happy, but each workout is definitely a struggle. The easiest day was yesterday.
Nothing, pretty indifferent to everything these days.
Girls > everything
