What have you done recently or in the past to improve on your mental wellness?
I don't think society will learn much about full human functioning unless we devote as much time studying mental wellness as we do mental illness. There are many labels for mental illness, but very few if none for mental wellness. It is unfortunate that in this country, labels define who we are.
Btw, according to Psychology Today, The most popular class at Harvard University is about positive psychology. http://www.psychologytoday.com/articles/200812...
So what is it that make makes a person happy or mentally well?

Well I think it is pretty clear - success creates mental wellness. It may not maintain mental wellness by itself but endeavoring to achieve and accomplishing what you set out to do enables good feeling.

It really is very cheap to live in the Philippines. The lifestyle is great too even with a modest income. You can hire maids, laundresses, and even a driver if needs be. I didn't grow up in the Philippines and don't speak the language, but I understand enough to get by. My plan is to retire at 55 (11 yrs from now) and to continue teaching in Hawaii for a few years. In my 60's, I don't know yet. I want to keep the home base I have here in NY since I live in a great, but expensive area, but maybe I'll be a snowbird like my mom who spends part of the year in the Philippines. I have a lot of relatives in my parents hometown who I have some connection to and would help me with the transition. My ex husband is also from that same town. If I need refuge, I am certain he would provide it since as of now he is doing well with running his Test Prep centers around the Philippines. For the next 11 yrs, I'll remain where I am currently. Who knows, I might meet someone and my plans will change.
