Psychologist Carol Ryff developed a six-dimension scale of psychological wellbeing drawn from numerous theories and research.

She determined that the 6 factors are:

𝐒𝐞𝐥𝐟-𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞
𝐏𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐬
𝐀𝐮𝐭𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐦𝐲
𝐄𝐧𝐯𝐢𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐦𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐲
𝐏𝐮𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞
𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐭𝐡

👉🏻 She found that self-acceptance had the strongest correlation to life satisfaction.

In the workplace, we try to incorporate these in controlling how and where we do our work, gaining social support, positive relationships with coworkers, and meaningful work that provides fulfillment and opportunities for growth and learning.

Awareness helps us to focus on our mental and physical health and functional wellbeing.

I am sharing a “wellbeing tracker” #infographic from PositivePsychology.com

This is for informational purposes to consider how our perceptions, emotions, and wellbeing change over time. Sometimes, even in the same day!

By becoming more aware, we can track ourselves to see when we are flourishing or perhaps need to make adjustments to maintain wellness.

Perhaps by being more aware of ourselves and the signs, we can do the same for others with sensitivity, kindness, and conscious empathy.

🧠 May is Mental Health month and I hope to share posts to shine a light on all who deserve support and a reduction of stigma associated with it.
