That's one of the colors of the rainbow. So if I wake up in the morning and say, I wanna be happy, I'll be less happy. But if I wake up in the morning and say, I wanna find something which is more meaningful to do, or I'm gonna meditate for 10 minutes now, that is an indirect way of pursuing happiness. That's one of the colors. So that's the S of Spire. The P of Spire, that's physical wellbeing.

Physical wellbeing is about nutrition. It's about rest and recovery, sleep. It's about touch. It's about what we eat that of course matters. So if I start to exercise regularly, that's an indirect way of pursuing happiness. If I eat more healthfully, the same. Then we have the I of SPIRE. I stands for intellectual well-being.

That's about curiosity, about asking questions, about constantly learning, about deep diving, whether it's into a text or a work of art or nature. And these are, again, all indirect ways of pursuing happiness. The fourth color of the rainbow, the R of SPIRE, relational well-being. Number one predictor of happiness, quality time we spend with people we care about and who care about us.

So if I spend more time with my loved ones, indirectly pursuing happiness. And finally, the E of SPIRE, emotional well-being. Emotional well-being is, first of all, about giving ourselves the permission to be human. In other words, embracing painful emotions that are natural parts of any life, even a happy life, sadness, anger, frustration.

Allowing these emotions to freely flow through us paradoxically actually leads to more happiness. So these five elements of happiness, spiritual, physical, intellectual, relational, and emotional well-being are the metaphorical colors of the rainbow. And when we pursue them, we're actually pursuing happiness indirectly and becoming happier.
