Why do you want to measure it? If you feel you are improving, that's good enough in personal life.

Also, sometimes, the improvement is just so great (or paraphrased, the baseline is so low), that you don't need scientific rigor to see that things got better.

It seems that a subjective state of mind isn't a great way to tell if you are inconviencing others.

For example, an individual can feel great while being social on a narcotic, all while hurting others around them and being completely oblivious to it.
