ABSTRACT

The objective of this paper is to understand the relationship between self reflexive leisure and subjective well-being using interview method. Happiness may be the ultimate goal of life which is not easy to reach, due to the process of comparison and adaptation. The positive psychologists suggest cognitive activities such as self-regulation and self-reflection attenuate comparison and adaptation, so that they promote subjective well-being. Therefore, Mindfulness, Ki discipline, Yoga which can help promoting self-regulation and subjective well-being were referred as self reflexive leisure in this paper and how these experiences start and continue and how they are involved to subjective well-being were researched. In the result of analysis, self reflexive leisure has a great effect on relieving negative emotions such as stress, anxiety, and conflict. The process of relieving was observed to give a feeling of happiness. However, it does not help to keep the existing cognitive satisfaction or positive emotion for a long time. Meanwhile negative views or prejudices against self reflexive leisure were commonly observed, which hindered from continuing on self reflexive leisure, and this shows that effort is required to neutralize the negative image.
