Exercise makes me happy. Makes all of us happy.
To explain; happiness comes from a combination of chemicals in our brain. When we exercise, our metabolism goes up, so the output of chemicals go up; and we are then happy.
When we do not exercise, the chemical levels drop, so our level of happiness also drops. This is why we feel so bad when we wake up every morning. Get moving, and the chemicals go up again. We call it "waking up."
So how much exercise do we need to be happy all day long?
Actually not that much; 15 minutes of stretching and 15 minutes of aerobics each day will last thru the entire day.
Throw in the fact that our bodies, at around age 18-21, begin a long and slow process where we eventually loose 50% of our strength (around age 80), if we did weightlifting once a week, by the time we reach age of 80, only 25% of our strength would be lost.
And THAT would make us even happier!!
PS Good question!!

I think it takes a combination of Love, Family, Friends, Sex, Travel, Food and Knowledge. Especially having a play date with my friends and their children, watching the kids play and smile, then going home to my husband, him taking me and the children away for the weekend and having sex (after the kids went to bed). The food comes in during the play date and the getaway weekend and the knowledge because you always learn something new from a friend, our children and a getaway. I get elated when my baby girl giggles and smiles at me, her brother or my husband. By the way that was my last weekend... :-) Isn't life just wonderful at times... !!!

Very smart question ..
and you are very smart .. Just it seems you now feeling unsure about something or in some of those moments ..
Dear ,
Life itself should make you happy, all what you wrote can make you happy.. and you know that ..
In your success moments you didn't feel happy , ??
in loving someone and recieving the love of him is it not make you happy ??
in a friend calls for you remembering ur birthday ??
in family gathering around you and listining , understanding , and always knowing that there is always somebody there for you in your weak moments doesn't that make you happy ?
Visiting new place which you enjoy ??
Good sex ???
Knowledge ??
Success ?? and ETC.....
Believe me .. Being alive should make you happy ..
Even in your sad moments you should feel happy .. knowing there is sooner or later that happy moment which will come and make you forget about all of that ..
Having the gift of forgetting .. must make you happy ..
forgiveness ,
Life is the happiness as you can say it is the sorrowness too ..
Life is your Gift .. and you have to choose what to do with it ..
To accept what you can not change ..
and to change what you can for better yourself and those whom around you ..
To do good things to everybody even whom you don't know and will never know .. that make you the last long happiness .. Only God who can give things without waiting for it ..
He create you , you can be Athiest or Deist .. and still he give you what you eat and drink and enjoy ..
May be sometimes he give you some bad moments .. but that is his gift for you .. to realise the meaning of happiness .. and that a small stuff you never thought about as making you happy is the happiness itself ..
Wish you always the happiness .. and wish you good luck to pass your bad moments in smooth and hurry ..
Peace

The realization that this life is an experience (of good and bad) and you learn something from all your experiences.
