The PERMA Model of Well-Being Positive Emotion Positive emotions are an essential part of our well-being. Happy people look back on the past with glad-ness; look into the future with hope; and they enjoy and cherish the present. Relationships Everyone needs someone. We enhance our well-being and share it with others by building strong relationships with the people around us - family, friends, coworkers, neighbours Accomplishment Everyone needs to win sometimes. To achieve wellbeing and happiness, we must be able to look back on our lives with a sense of accomplishment: 'I did it, and i did it well’ Engagement When we focus on doing the things we truly enjoy and care about, we can begin to engage completely with the present moment and enter the state of being known as flow Meaning We are at our best when we dedicate time to something greater than ourselves. This might be religious faith, community work, family, politics, a charity, a professional or creative goal.
