A lot of emphasis surrounds ‘feeling good’ in order to qualify ourselves as ‘happy’. This is a very subjective measure, as it is dictated by so many unrelated and changeable factors. Further research into positive psychology has redefined a measure by which we can measure our satisfaction in life: a sense of meaning, the experience of flow and the emotional side of feeling positive about our lives all work in collaboration for a deeper satisfaction with life. Thus, pursuing your long-term goals may not ‘feel’ great at the time, but is bringing you flow and meaning to lead you closer to a sense of fulfilment.
