1) I feel most happy when I know I've completed something successfully. It could be finishing a math problem on a test, baking a pie for fun, or writing an essay late into the night. I think this makes me happy because it gives me a sense of accomplishment. I know that I am doing something right. I spend a lot of time not knowing what the right thing to do is. In some ways I just coast. I follow a path that someone else has made for me. So when I deliberately finish something correctly on my own, It makes me happy.

2) I don't know if I agree with the idea that you can't be happy, if you search for happiness. I think that a proactive lifestyle is the best way to discover happiness. If one just goes with the flow, than he/she could just flow right past happiness. A passive lifestyle can lead to sadness because you don't explore the things that might make you happy.

3) I feel like I am either in the anxiety channel, or I'm in the boredom channel. Rarely am I in the Flow channel.

4) I feel borderline calm actually when I'm doing my project. I feel a little anxious because I know I will get a grade on my project, my presentation, and my journal entries. This grade is a huge portion of my overall grade in this class. Even though I am already in college, I still most maintain my grades, or I will lose my financial aid. Other than that part, I've felt very happy throughout this project. When I've completed a task I set myself, it's a nice feeling. It's different from how I feel when I finish my homework. I guess it's because for this project I'm creating my own tasks, and I am setting my own goals. I feel more independent and satisfied with myself.

5) If I was more skillful in every way, I could easily achieve flow. Skills I need improvement on would be public speaking, computer skills, professional skills (e.g. carpentry, plumbing, engineering), writing skills, artistic skills, and many more. I have a lot of things that I can learn.
