Would you say you have a baseline of happiness?

You're looking at em

Not sure if your article was talking about this, but in positive psychology everyone has a baseline of happiness. It’s a component of genetics, how you were raised, and some degree of personal control. The idea behind baseline happiness is that it’s your average state you eventually return to once a bad thing wears off or once a good thing wears off. I think it’s called the hedonic treadmill if I remember correctly. People who have been through traumatic stuff tend to have lower baselines for happiness unfortunately. Studies show baselines can change for the better to a degree, but it takes a lot of work.

My baseline is to ignore all the negativity my thoughts create. Just be positive and there is nothing to be worried about.

What does a "baseline of happiness" even mean, a d how could you consider setting such a line?
You don't need a "baseline of happiness", you just need to find some sources of happiness and not get mired in negativity all the time.

Yes, It's really not "My line," per-se but it definitely is out there in the Universe.

Yeah. People living with depression wallow below that baseline 😕

Very much so, I think this is why I draw a lot of people to me

Ahhh, its a work in progress.

No. My baseline is just meh.

I am not joyful. I am often silent, though.
