i'm really very happy at the moment, to the point where i don't see how my life could get much better: i've got a lovely girlfriend, a nice flat, great friends, living in an exciting city, doing a course that really interests me, and getting as much music for free as i can listen to. i'm sure i'm ripe for a fall, but at the moment it's fantastic.
weirdly, though, i've only learnt to appreciate these things in the past few months; previously my default mood was a kind of anxious, dwelling on worse-case scenario worrying. i think two things have helped me to be happier:
-to not think about work at all when i'm at home. i need to switch off somehow otherwise i'm completely unsociable and miserable, just going over the same thoughts about work again and again. i find that cooking is the easiest way to switch off. drinking is also good, but my hangovers are getting more and more crippling as i get older.
-secondly, doing regular exercise.
