ZXL's Happiness Index

Ask yourself this question honestly..on a scale of 1 to 10, what is your current happiness level? Average, on a daily basis..for eg, some people are a 5 from 0900 - 1700 hrs, and a 8 after 1700hrs, which works out to be about 6.5. Of cos there're people who might have a consistent index 24/7..which can be good(when it's high) or bad(when it's not)

Well, according to the very-not-scientific ZXL index, this is what your level means :

0 - 3 : You're obviously rather unhappy ; Something needs to be done to your life soon. Chances are you'll be better off with most changes(i mean, how much lower can u go right?)

4 - 5 : Hmm, there are probably a few unhappy factors and some redeeming ones in your life. Try and identify which are which and eliminate the unhappy ones, if possible. If not, just try to spend more time on the positive ones to boost the overall level.

5 - 6 : (I suspect a lot of people fall into this category)You are OK with your life. Life is not fantastic, but you can live with it. Chances are you're in a comfort zone. Occasionally, you think of seeking something to make yourself happier but at the same time you're worried that if it doesn't work out, it'll leave u worse off. My advice is to do a risk assessment before you make any drastic changes.

7 - 8 : Life is good for you. Maintain. Do not try and aim for a 10 all the time(refer to below). Accept that life has ups and downs.

9 - 10 : A high usually only reserved for special occasions, such as eating tat divine eclair, getting tat pair of shoes at a bargain price, receiving tat Coach bag for your birthday, bonus time, etc. Enjoy the moment!
