It's an awesome feeling isn't it? I've been living this way for close to six months now and I wouldn't have it any other way.
I'm in university right now, so I feel kind of odd because everyone else is getting massive stress or working like mad and here I am sitting calmly listening to music, going for walks around the city or whatever else tickles my fancy. Although it can be entertaining when people around me come over and 'give me a piece of their mind'. Lately I've been trying to help some of them calm down, especially the ones who are close to burning out.
The downside to this state of mind is that I've missed a few minor assignment deadlines and things. This is simply because I don't feel the pressure to do it like everyone else. I love learning but I need to do it more on my own schedule. When I'm ready to learn something I absorb it really fast, but until then I just can't get myself to care.
I guess to answer your question, living life in a relaxed and peaceful way is one of my highest values. It's a spectacular way to live and it gives me the freedom to do what I love most.
