    What actions, or action makes you feel the most complete, acomplished, valuable, important, sucessful, content, free, and fulfilled.

    I feel most alive when I'm in an environment that feels "right" for me.... for example, when I'm sitting with someone that I truly connect with and enjoy being around (that has a positive influence on my life)- on a beach away from crowds....living for the moment and being able to breathe deeply and easily.....

    i feel most right when im walking on the beach.... along where the water juuuust ends. the bottom of my skirt is wet with water and i have sand through my hair. if im lucky enough my boyfriend is with me holding my hand (or kicking water at me)
    otherwise if im alone i couldnt be happier. looking out to the horizon makes me want to laugh and cry sometimes. it makes me so happy about life and how beautiful it is. (sorry, sounds a bit cheesy)

    peace

    Maybe it's because we came from the water originally.

    Well more about the ocean and it having the same salinity as our blood, etc, so it's like diving into yourself. Hope that doesn't sound gross. [​IMG]

    When I'm in the ocean....espiecially a nice, chilly ocean- or painfully chilly but refreshing ocean, I really do feel like I'm diving into myself. I break into a meditative state without trying it and feel like I connect deeply with my core....

    I feel the most alive when I'm out with a bunch of friends just having a blast... or when I'm doing something right.

    That gave me another idea too.... I feel very alive when I go through something that is really really difficult and do a good job and make it through and think "wow, i accomplished that. I kick ass" :)

    3 feet of fresh powder, leaving my ski and snowboard tracks behind me. Untracked is amazing...

    I feel most alive when I'm dancing. I'm a dancer/dance teacher...so I dance every day. It's one of the few ways I just feel free and alive...

    And when I'm listening to Beatles music. That's a big one.

    And when I'm at peace rally's, festivals, protests, and concerts.
