Being in nature. Creative, seemingly meaningless, work (like drawing for fun, dancing or doing improv theatre just because I love doing it). New ideas. Healthy arguments and people who (politely) disagree with my viewpoint. Public speaking (the bigger the audience, the better). Traveling to new places. Teaching and seeing how people’s horizons change when I do that.

The relationship with myself that is becoming better every year, and the relationship with the higher force above us (whatever you prefer to call it).
