What will be an ideal response?
Well-being is the combined impact of five elements: positive emotions, engagement, relationships, meaning, and achievement (PERMA).
Flourishing represents the extent to which our lives contain PERMA.
Positive emotions broaden your perspective about how to overcome challenges in your life. Positive emotions also build on themselves. Engagement reflects the extent to which you are physically, cognitively, and emotionally involved with an activity, task, or project. Being engaged in something has been referred to as being in the "zone" or in a state of "flow." Positive relationships are a strong contributor to our well-being. They buffer us from stressors and provide resources that enable us to more effectively get things done. Positive relationships fuel the giving and receiving of social support. Meaningfulness is defined as belonging to and serving something that you believe is bigger than the self. Achievement pertains to the extent to which you have a self-directed "achieving life." In other words, we flourish when we pursue achievement for its own sake. Doing so fosters feelings of mastery, which in turn enhances our self-esteem and self-efficacy.
Students will give examples from their own lives of the five components.
