The PERMA Model

The PERMA Model, developed by psychologist Martin Seligman, outlines five core elements that contribute to well-being and happiness. These are Positive emotions (experiencing joy and gratitude), Engagement (being absorbed in activities), Relationships (having meaningful connections), Meaning (finding purpose in life), and Accomplishment (achieving goals). Together, these elements form a balanced approach to a fulfilling life, helping individuals build resilience and satisfaction. The model emphasizes that well-being isn't just about feeling good, but also about experiencing growth, connection, and purpose.
