Are You Flourishing Or Languishing?
Have you ever met someone that seems to have the "golden touch"?
Or, have you ever met someone that you love to be around because
they just make you feel good about things? Maybe it was someone in
your family or someone you work with. This person also probably had
a wide ranging social circle and is "thought well of" by almost
everyone this person encounters. Also, did you notice that this
person does well at work, enjoys being at work and never seems to
take any sick days because there is never a need to? This person
seems to be in an "upward life spiral" and their success just keeps
piling on. What are they doing right? Well, it could be they are in
a zone called "flourish" by psychologists and social
scientists.
A few years ago researchers decided to start studying not only
what causes mental illness but why the mentally healthy have such a
wide variance in their ability to cope and thrive in life. They
found some very interesting results. It turns out that mental
health is not as simple as "not being mentally ill." Just because
someone is not pathologically mentally ill does not mean they are
psychologically thriving. They could be in the psychological stage
of "languishing" and just kind of "spinning their wheels" rather
than gaining life skills and adding to their "repertoire" of
effective learned behaviors. Research also indicates that only
about 18 percent of us are "flourishing" in our life. Well, what is
the psychological state of "flourishing" and how do you get it?
