I felt completely calm and in control of what I was doing. Last year I started learning piano in January but it fizzled out after a month. I came back to it half a year later and when I started practicing again my anxiety went away. I also lit a lovely scented candle. This peace stayed with me when I went to the grocery store and back but slowly I went back to my usual underlying nervousness.

It was the best I've felt in years but I wasn't ecstatic or anything - I was just calm. I fully understood the difference between pleasure and happiness in that moment - it was different to eating good food or beating a tough video game, it was just peace and much more subtle than my dopamine driven emotions.

Has this happened to anyone else? How I would love to recreate that feeling...
