Related to Happiness

"It is worth striving to get the right relationships between yourself and others, between yourself and your work, and between yourself and something larger than yourself. If you get these relationships right, a sense of purpose and meaning will emerge." ~Jonathan Haidt, conclusion of The Happiness Hypothesis

Which relationship(s) need attention?

After a very busy fall, my relationship to myself has eroded. Daily practices have become tattered, exercise eratic. At least now I don't think of this as hopeless or a sign of my failings as a person. It just is part of life. So I start up robust self-care once again. I know when I do this well, it cascades into every other relationship.
