The Five Elements of Well-Being
Lesson 2
Happiness is a thing and well-being is a construct. The five elements of well-being are positive emotion, engagement, relationships, meaning, and accomplishment.
Positive Emotion:
Positive Emotion includes the feelings of joy, excitement, contentment, hope and warmth. There may be positive emotions relating to the past, present or future.
Engagement:
Engagement denotes deep involvement in a task or activity. One does not experience the passing of time. One experiences flow in sports, music and singing but one may also experience it in work, reading a book or in a good conversation.
Relationships:
We feel happy when we are among family and friends. The quality and depth of relationships in one’s life make it rich.
Meaning:
It’s connecting to something larger than life.
Accomplishment:
One strives for achievements in life as a source of happiness.
Each of these elements contributes to well-being. The good news is that each one of the above may be cultivated and developed to enhance level of well-being.
