A model of Psychological Wellbeing |
|||
I'm including here a model of psychological wellbeing that seems to cover a lot of the bases. It's from Carol Ryff, a psychology professor, proposing that psychological wellbeing consists of these six elements: - Self-acceptance - Personal growth - Purpose in life - Positive relations with others - Environmental mastery (the capacity to effectively manage one's life and the surrounding environment) - Autonomy How this model might be useful is if we can assess how we're doing in each of these six areas, and examine whether we need to address one or more of them. It can help us to identify why we don't feel great at the moment/haven't felt great for a while for example. If I'm not feeling 100% brilliant about my life, my situation etc., can I make improvements in one or more of these spheres? Most importantly, what practical steps can I take, and what do I need to do get where I want to be?
