What sustains me?
Sustain:
- To support, hold, or bear up from below; bear the weight of, as a structure.
- To keep (a person, the mind, the spirits, etc.) from giving way, as under trial or affliction.
- To keep up or keep going, as an action of process.
- To supply with food, drink, and other necessities of life.
- To support (a cause or the like) by aid or approval.
What does that look like for me?
- interaction/relationship- with animals, with people
- affection
- continuous learning
- "successes"- developing a good relationship, cleaning the house, going to the gym consistently, getting a good deal, staying on top of my finances
- fresh air/the outdoors
- broadening my perspectives by traveling, meeting new diverse people
- approval
- humor/ not taking life too seriously

did you read my article in The Well? I made a short list of some things that sustain me as well. Just wondering if that made you think of this or if there was something else.
Yes helms! That's what made me think about writing this down/making a list. It seems over the past 1-2 years I have been struggling with the "am I doing what I really want to be doing with my life" question and in figuring out what I need in my life to thrive, the list of what sustains me helps me figure that out!
