What's Your Satisfaction Scale?

[Viking]

During our whole life, we do activities that we hope will give us satisfaction. Whether it will be eating food, having sex, following our life purpose, good conversation, meditation (debatable), etc.

All of that stuff gives us some level of satisfaction. We prefer to do more of the stuff that gives us more satisfaction.

For example I see that my parents are really attached to food, TV and alcohol because their daily life is not really fulfilling, so they turn to the stuff that gives the most satisfaction and is available in the moment. They work at jobs just for the money and have nothing else left to do when they come home, so they turn to that stuff, which they hope will fulfill them, and it kinda does, but not entirely.

I became curious how's that satisfaction scale like with more self-actualizing people. sure, food is nice for self actualizing people, but it's more at the bottom for most of them I guess than normal people.

What is higher in your satisfaction scale?

What would your satisfaction scale look like? for example, from lowest to highest, TV-food-good conversation-sex-good work day-realizing the ultimate nature of the universe, you get the point (I hope).

Of course it's not set in stone, sometimes food could be better than sex, but on average, in daily life, what's giving you satisfaction at all and where would you put that on the scale?

The purpose of this topic is to have insight on how to improve the lives of non self-actualizing individuals (and self-actualizing beginners like meself) by expanding their satisfaction scale by stuff that wouldn't harm the body, unlike excessive eating, or would just give more overall satisfaction in life.

Things that give me the most satisfaction are sex, food, beautiful music, poetry and literature, being in nature and watching animals, or simply enjoying the moment. I also enjoy getting crazy and having fun with the right people, but can't open up to everybody cause I'm pretty introverted. What is more satisfying depends on What my needs are at that moment. I tried alcohol and weed and it doesn't really satisfy me much, as well as video games, watching tv a.s.o. 

The worst habit I still have is watching porn.

My experience of fulfillment in life increased when I disassociated the contentment I feel in life with life itself, not attaching it to things or work or anything. That way my fulfillment wasn't contingent on my life's circumstances appealing to hopes or expectations so when things didn't go my way I still had a sense of fulfillment that couldn't be disrupted by it.
