Who are we?
alrafah project
We believe that positive well-being within the workplace is not just a feeling of happiness, but it also reflects a culture of harmony between the organization’s goals and personal values To maintain a healthy work environment, company well-being must be at the heart of the business. The world is waking up to the importance of luxury. With a third of our lives spent at work, well-being becomes very important for both employees and leaders.Why do we exist?
We exist to create.
A world where people have the skills to build their mental health and grow through life’s challenges.
Why? Because everyone has the right and the ability to flourish in their unique circumstances.
We want to make it easier for people to create positive wellbeing habits, so we can all thrive as individuals, organisations and as a wider community.An evidence-based model of Wellbeing – PERMA
The PERMA model of wellbeing outlines five key measurable and evidence based pillars for flourishing:
What do Positive Emotions mean in PERMA?
Positive emotions include feeling such as hope, joy, compassion, love, appreciation and gratitude. Seligman makes the distinction that having “positive emotion” is more than “being happy”. He sees happiness as a moment in time, and makes the point that nobody can be happy all of the time. Positive emotions are a prime indicator of wellbeing, and they can be cultivated and developed in order to improve wellbeing. It’s been found that individuals can integrate more positive emotions into their daily lives, and imagine more positive emotions in future life, and that this requires us to focus our thinking towards good feeling thoughts. The more we feel positive emotions, the more it builds our sense of wellbeing.
What does Engagement mean in PERMA?
Seligman describes engagement as “being one with the music.” The concept is aligned with Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi’s concept of being in “flow.” Being in flow means living in the present moment and focusing entirely on the task at hand, or even losing yourself in the task because it’s so engaging and involving. It’s been found that people are more likely to experience a sense of flow when they are engaged in tasks or activities that are aligned with the values that are really important to them. An integral part of developing engagement, feeling in flow, is getting the level of challenge right, so that whatever you are doing supports you to stretch into developing your skills and using your strengths.
What do Relationships mean in PERMA?
In Seligman’s model the next key element in generating wellbeing is our Relationships. While relationships are an integral part of all of our social interactions, in PERMA the focus is on positive relationships, where we feel loved, supported and respected by others. The research around the presence of positive relationships in our lives is effectively all good. Positive relationships build wellbeing; and have been found to support mental health, contribute to physical health and protect against cognitive decline. Developing and nurturing relationships with people we care about it increases the amount of intimacy we experience, which further increases our sense of wellbeing. Positive relationships require energy and attention, so it’s important to create time and space to grow and develop them.
What does Meaning mean in PERMA?
In the PERMA model Seligman describes meaning as having a sense of belonging and/or serving something greater than ourselves. It is an intrinsic human quality to pursue a sense of value and worth, to feel like we have meaning in our lives. People often link meaning to having a purpose in life, and while these two concepts are different, they can go together if having a sense of purpose can help you find meaning in your day-to-day life. Everyone connects with meaning in their lives differently. It can be experienced, for example, through our work, through a social cause, a creative activity, or a spiritual belief. We might experience a sense of meaning through our careers, with valued social groups, or through volunteering or community activities. Having a sense of meaning is guided by our personal values, and people who report having a strong sense of meaning tend to stay connected to wellbeing even when they are under pressure.
What does Accomplishments mean in PERMA?
In the PERMA model Accomplishment is also known as achievement, mastery, or developing competence. Seligman describes accomplishment as a result of working toward and reaching goals, mastering activities, and having the self-motivation to finish what you set out to do. This contributes to wellbeing because individuals feel like they are progressing and can look at their lives with a sense of pride and achievement. While accomplishment includes the quality of perseverance to achieve external goals, flourishing and wellbeing is more enhanced through striving toward goals that are intrinsically motivating like growth and connection. It’s important to recognise that our accomplishments are often found in the small things that we achieve. This is especially important to remember when working on big projects or long-term goals, where focusing on small achievements is key.
