You have to meet survival needs to achieve happiness.
Personally I need to focus on a job first, while making time for my mental and physical health (yoga is good for this), connection to other people, and creative pursuits, or I can start to feel unhappy and unfulfilled. Maybe I need to set a goal of 1 hour minimum/week for impractical creativity, yoga, inspiration, connection. More work daily on the job search.
