FI, happiness, mid-life crisis & depression

Some examples:

  • Close relationships
  • Doing something good for others (I try to do something nice every day for a stranger, only takes seconds but goes a long way)
  • Invest in experiences instead of stuff
  • Sleeping enough (a big one for me, recommended reading: Why We Sleep, Matthew Walker)
  • Savoring (the act of stepping outside of an experience to reivew and appreciate it)
  • Negative visualization (Praemeditatio Malorum)
  • Make this day your last
  • Gratitude (the quality of being thankful and a tendency to show appreciation for what one has)
  • Work with your signature strenghts (those character strengths that are most essential to who we are)
  • Having a growth mindset
  • Resetting your reference points
