Go to your happy place!

[Nisk]

I'm curious as to what or where people feel the most happy/comfortable.

For me because of my job it's usually high up in the air walking on a 2 inch piece of steel. I'm happy up there because the world becomes a tiny speck in my peripheral vision, all the problems in my life seem so minuscule from up there when life or death is just a step away.

I also enjoy the forest at night in the middle of nowhere, the silence of being out of the city is so peaceful.

Good question Nisk

Walking a quiet trail far from any cities or towns alone or with A Person by a creek, river, lake, tarn in a cirque, or beach.

In my room watching a video or reading. Occasionally I socialize, but that is hard to do. I am the most comfortable staying away from any place with lots of people.

 

[On the Inside]

Don't get out as much as I used to, but on a large, wavy body of water in one of my sea kayaks is one true happiness place. There is a line between living and dying, especially if the water is cold, so being on that edge and mastering it like you said about balancing on the beam has something to do with it.

Another place is out on a cross country ski trail on a moonlit night, the colder the better. I guess I like being in an environment where you are exposed to the singularity of existence. I mean that in the mathematical/physical aspect as well, the point at which a function reaches an infinite value. It brings out the overwhelming significance of our small, short lives. I usually return feeling blessed.

Other more everyday places; a good trail run, swimming in a natural body of water (no pools), being in nature.

In my room, when I'm not working.

In the forest.

Along the beach in winter

Sitting by the clothes dryer on wet days (its quite, with a nice flow of warm humid air from the dryer, restful and not dazzling bright)
A walk along a beach on a stormy day
A resting in a park or a countryside walk on a fine day or at sunset
