Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- On paper my life looks successful
- Something about my life feels off and I genuinely can’t name what
- I’m good at what I do and life is fine, but everything has started to feel like reruns
- I know there are a couple of things I’m genuinely good at, but I use them just to get by
- My whole sense of whether I’m doing well rides on outcomes I don’t fully control, so when the results are slow or disappointing I feel like I’m getting nowhere
Practices that may help
- Seligman’s PERMA Model, Made Practical
Martin Seligman’s PERMA model identifies five pillars of well-being: Positive Emotions, Engagement, Relationships, Meaning, and Accomplishment. Unlike happiness models that treat well-being as a single variable, PERMA argues these five elements are each intrinsically valued and each independently improvable. Several PERMA-targeted interventions have randomized-trial support; others are mechanistically grounded with less direct evidence. - Positive Psychology, Made Practical
Martin Seligman’s positive psychology studies what makes life worth living, organized around the PERMA model — Positive emotion, Engagement, Relationships, Meaning, and Accomplishment. Several of its signature interventions, including three good things, the gratitude visit, and using signature strengths, have genuine randomized-trial support for raising well-being and lowering depressive symptoms. - Audit your life against PERMA
Check well-being across all five pillars — emotion, engagement, relationships, meaning, accomplishment.
Positive Psychology, Made Practical - Learned Optimism: Seligman’s ABCDE Method
Learned optimism, from Martin Seligman’s research program, teaches you to identify and dispute the pessimistic explanations you generate automatically after setbacks — using his ABCDE model (Adversity, Belief, Consequence, Disputation, Energization). Clinical and observational research links shifting from pessimistic to flexible explanatory style to reduced depression risk and better persistence; effects are real but modest, and the goal is accuracy, not forced positivity. - Run a PERMA audit of your current well-being
Rate each of the five PERMA pillars to find which is currently limiting your overall flourishing.
Seligman’s PERMA Model, Made Practical - Apply the self-expansion framework to individual growth, not only relationships
The same motivation that drives relational closeness also drives individual meaning — seeking growth for its own sake.
Self-Expansion Model: How Relationships Grow (and Stagnate) Us - Bridge from signature strengths to purpose
Identify the top two or three things you do better than most people and trace how they can serve something larger.
The Life Crafting Intervention: Scripting Your Future Self - Track mastery progress, not just outcomes (accomplishment pillar)
Measure your growth in capability over time, not only whether you hit your targets.
Seligman’s PERMA Model, Made Practical - Complimenting Strengths Throughout the Session
Deliberately name real strengths, efforts, and resources the person displays — not as praise but as information.
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy: Building On What Works - Calibrate toward accuracy, not positivity
The target is a realistic, flexible explanatory style — not Pollyannaish optimism.
