Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

  • Something about my life feels off and I genuinely can’t name what
  • On paper my life looks successful
  • Going through this health scare has shaken loose how I think about my body and how much time I actually have
  • On paper my life looks fine and I can’t point to anything that’s wrong, but I have this nagging sense it isn’t actually going well
  • I’ve got a big evaluation looming and I can already feel myself bracing to defend my whole worth on it

Practices that may help

  1. 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
  2. Audit your life against PERMA
    Check well-being across all five pillars — emotion, engagement, relationships, meaning, accomplishment.
    Positive Psychology, Made Practical
  3. 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.
  4. Use benefit-finding specifically for illness-related adversity
    The research on benefit-finding is strongest in the context of medical illness — use these practices during or after health challenges.

  5. Periodic eudaimonia audit: are you actually flourishing?
    Periodically evaluate your life against the conditions Aristotle thought were necessary for genuine flourishing — not just your feelings about it.

  6. Write about a value that matters to you
    Before a stressful or threatening situation, spend five minutes writing about a value that is genuinely important to you.
    Self-Affirmation Theory, Made Practical
  7. Awe and Well-Being, Made Practical
    Awe — the emotion triggered by encountering something vast that challenges your current mental frameworks — reliably reduces self-focused thinking, lowers inflammatory markers in some studies, increases prosocial behavior, and expands the perceived sense of time available. Dacher Keltner’s research shows awe is more accessible than people think and can be deliberately cultivated without waiting for once-in-a-decade peak experiences.
  8. Take the VIA survey and identify your signature strengths
    Discover your top five to seven character strengths using the validated VIA survey.
    VIA Character Strengths, Made Practical
  9. The 3-minute body check-in — a daily-life bridge
    Do a fast, three-minute version of the body scan at natural transition points in the day.
    Body Scan Meditation, Made Practical
  10. Self-Concept Clarity, Made Practical
    Jennifer Campbell’s self-concept clarity (SCC) research shows that people who hold a clear, internally consistent, and temporally stable self-concept report higher self-esteem, lower anxiety, and better coping with stress than those whose sense of self is vague or contradictory. Clarity can be deliberately built through structured reflection and consistent self-relevant action.
