How to do everything

There are three aspects of your life that you need to take care of to be happy. After all, most of use are in the pursuit of happiness. I see happiness as my number one goal in everything I do in my life. Even if that means being selfish or destroying certain morals, I don't care, I just wanna live my days with happy memories. Of course, there are many people that are exceptions to the happiness thing... One of my best friends is constantly unhappy because all he wants is pride. But that's a different story. I'll just assume that you're into happiness and not something else.

The first aspect that you're going to have to focus on is your physical health. Trust me, this is the easiest aspect of your life as it is the most straightforward. Your physical health is going to improve your life on so many levels since it makes every motion you make easier and your general 'feeling' better. Like right now, I've let myself loose for exams since I've been spending a lot of time studying. (Not really though. I have to pretend so my parents will be willing to pay for university. In reality, I have been watching How I Met Your Mother. Great show.) Just sitting in front of my computer and typing up this post, I feel like total ass. I can feel my last meal being slowly digested, and if I hold my breath for too long, I get a head rush. To avoid this, doing anything regularly will make you feel better. I like to go to the gym on weekdays, but this isn't universal. As long as you're doing something that is making you move, you're on the right path.

The second aspect is your social health. This is not so straightforward, in fact, it's probably the hardest of the three. You want to make sure you generally have good relationships with people, of course you want to go out and do stuff. I personally analyze every situation with my friends, and find little 'mechanisms' for our interaction. After a while of knowing someone, I have some general guidelines for what to do to interact with them. Somehow I've managed to be the only peaceful person at our family dinners while everyone else starts fights with them, I've managed to lead the conversation when talking to my bros, but I'm still having some trouble with the ladies. Not to say that I haven't made progress... I just don't like the contrast between my current situation and my desired situation. I can't give any advice, really, on how to do this... Everyone has to figure it out on their own I guess. I plan to make several posts regarding how my social life is going: mainly the problems that I'm figuring out. This can give you some insight into how I manage.

The third aspect is your mental health, and by this I don't mean not having any disorders or conditions. This might be an easy task for some people, depending on who you are, because the ultimate goal is to keep your brain satisfied when you're by yourself. In short, this means find a hobby. Music and games are what most people like to do. I have a variety of interests, but mainly I'm interested in TV, the stock market, and some video games. Recently I've been watching How I Met Your Mother. It's okay, the plots really thin as it's mostly just main characters flipping in and out of relationships. but I really enjoy the one liners and some of the morals. The stock market has always been a hazey subject for me as I am always super confused. By this point I know some jargon, but my opinions are usually guesses and usually incorrect. I also play StarCraft, and real time strategy game that's really demanding. I've recently been promoted to diamond on the north american server, so I'm not doing too bad.

I wanna end this by stating the necessary balance between these three aspects. It is crucial that all aspects are focused on, otherwise, you will always be unhappy with one part of your life. Notice how I described all the aspects with the word 'health'? That's because you need all three to be considered 'healthy'. In the same way you can't have a healthy heart but a failing liver, you simply can't focus on one aspect more than another. The metaphor continues: having one healthy aspect in your life helps you achieve healthiness in other aspects. Some examples of this is getting compliments from girls for going to the gym, being motivated by some really good music while running, or playing video games with your friends.
