Work is work . . . it's a means to provide for you (and your family/future family). Life is about things outside of work, people, loved ones, pets, plants, hobbies. Set some goals to connect with friends and family. Get a pet, do gardening, volunteer, read. Go hiking, go biking. Play a team sport. Most people dread going to work, that's why they call it work, btw. Although it is nice if you can enjoy work, short commute, great pay and interesting projects can help with that. Build other things in your life where you look forward to going to work, but you really look forward to getting off work to pursue the people/hobbies you really care about. Exercise can help too but sounds like you have that covered. Try something new though. Hiking, Biking, Rock Gym/Climbing. Team sports. Good luck finding the illusive 'happiness', sounds like you're on the right track.
