I think about the term flourishing as similar to terms like 'healthy' or 'organised' - its something you have to continuously work on every single day to maintain rather than something you just wake up being one day. That can be really overwhelming to know that its something that never becomes second nature - some of the processes might, and it might get easier, but its never something like breathing where you don't have to think about it. I think that if you look at it like that, the process of personal betterment can seem overwhelming but if you reframe it and focus on the benefits rather than the work you put in it become much less overwhelming. I also think its important to note that nothing in the PERMA framework encourages ignoring negatives. You can reframe your thought processes to pick up on more positives without being idealistic or naive and ignoring negative feelings etc. Sorry for the long response!!

Flourishing vs Perfection

2022-05-24 05:18:31 UTC

I feel as though "flourishing" shouldn't be viewed as "perfection". There is a difference between those who reach "perfection" and those who perhaps don't BUT they still feel they are on the right track/pathway. As musicians it is very hard for us to settle for anything less than perfect and getting caught up in that idea, that we need to have everything perfect, often doesn't bring us happiness. The 'perfect' end result may appear to give momentary happiness but the lead up to get there and the expectations once it has been achieved can often result in stress, dissatisfaction, depression, etc. Flourishing however, I would refer to as maintaining happiness, and comfort throughout the process that leads to satisfaction. Flourishing includes the journey and the result and it is about maintaining that constant inner peace and feeling in control for the most part.

To me, flourishing as a university student is taking ownership of my own learning, in the sense that I do not want to be just going through the motion of learning but actively applying and relating it to my life, thinking about how I can help others with my newly acquired knowledge. For example after learning about PERMA, I found myself subconsciously categorising my life into the different categories of PERMA. It also helps me with my decision-making process

I think of flourishment as being happy and sometimes it is very difficult to feel that way. I don't really think I have found what makes me flourish yet. It used to be music when I was young and I definitely miss that feeling but there is so much pressure to be the best in music. There is so much competition. Maybe I am trying to think of flourishment as perfection

Flourishing

2022-05-24 05:21:47 UTC

I think one can flourish when they're put in a situation or environment of which they really enjoy and feel better by partaking in. Such environments can include singing or playing a musical instrument, where positive chemicals are released in the brain and result in the person feeling better, overall. Particularly if they have previous experience in the field (with playing a musical instrument), they can flourish through constant practice and social opportunities (through group practice or performances). Through finding something you feel really strongly about/really enjoy doing, and you continue to work at and improve at the skill, you can flourish at it.

I think 'flourishing' is very important and it's something everyone should work on continuously. I believe some people are better at it naturally than others but it all depends on personal experience and even upbringing. But in saying that in striving to be 'happy' we need to accept that there will be days that we don't feel as good as other days and letting yourself understand that is just as important.
Also flourishing shouldn't be looked at as humans becoming
perfect'
