How do you feel alive?

Perhaps this should be moved but I am putting it here, do what One must if needed.

Perhaps I am rapid cycling or I've been triggered or I am stressed out .. .. perhaps i am just human ..
but I am thinking to myself "I wish I felt more alive "..

I'll start...
What have I done in the past to feel a live???
Gotten a tattoo, did reckless things, took a leap In life... gone on a trip.. drove, nature, photography, kindness to strangers and they reciprocated

What can i do right now?
Orange juice sometimes reminds me i am alive...

Do something in nature. Anything. A few years ago I laid down in the snow, not in snow gear, head and all. I took a selfie and the smile on my face still makes me smile. I've climbed trees, jumped in the river, caught snakes, chased wild turkeys so forth and so on. As a side note turkeys are really fast! Lol.

There is nothing I would prefer over nature.

Decide on a goal based on your values, and work toward it? Probably something that should have been drilled into us as children, instead of just getting by day to day. Probably a cultural thing too.

livingl ife for yourself.

that is to say.

don't let other people tell you what to do or how you should live your life

doing what you want, when you want it is what makes you feel alive

I joked and laughed today with people, that made me feel alive

The other day I worked on a project that was something different from my normal tasks, even though it was a project that I had done In the past... so I had half of it done but had some problem solving to do with.changes that occurred over time.. I felt alive with trying to figure something out.

I wake up, or more likely, just roll over, breathe and let the disappointment wash over me.

To feel alive I go out of my comfort zone occasionally and if I can grow from it then it is a great feeling. Out in nature definitely makes me feel alive or happy. Lately went slightly out of my comfort zone by going on a few dates.
