Psychology offers techniques to transform languishing into flourishing. The PERMA-V theory advocates creating a flourishing life where we work towards experiencing [6]:
Positive emotions – identifying, cultivating and enhancing positive emotions such as joy, hope & zest.
Engagement in our world to energize us – identifying and undertaking activities that absorb and stretch-us, this often leads to experiencing ‘flow’.
Relationships that are highly satisfying – enhancing interpersonal connections with others, being part of a social group and to feel accepted.
Meaningfulness in what we do – identifying purpose and aligning our values with activities in our life: at home, at work & in the community etc.
Achievement and valued outcomes – strategies to identify and set the correct type of goals – is it a learning goal or a performance goal? Experiencing striving and accomplishment is important to build self-confidence and experience pride.
Vitality – our sleep, eating and regular exercise impacts our wellbeing. Building and sustaining physical vitality is essential for resilience, this is our ability to bouce back from adversity and manage challenge.
Flourishing is what we aim for in our programs, so this is why we offer services with a Coaching Psychology framework and to meet you where you are at in your wellbeing journey.
