Eudaimonia

Eudaimonia derives from the Greek words 'Eu' – meaning good, and 'daimon' – meaning spirit within. This concept of good inner spirit, or feeling of wellbeing, is translated as happiness. Doing something one loves with passion. Living in Melbourne during Covid-19 has been extraordinarily challenging. The city experienced the longest lockdown in the whole world. Limitations have become an integral part of our daily live. Personal mortality and pandemic highlighted the awareness of how precious time really is. The importance of the pursuit of Eudaimonia has become more important than ever before. My focus shifted towards the simple things in life. I found new comfort in my immediate environment and an incredible source of positive energy from my two hour daily walks. For me, Eudaimonia is a multidimensional and multisensory relationship that connects me to the natural and immediate environment. For someone who has spent a lifetime struggling with identity and belonging, this connection means home and happiness.
