Habits for Living a Good, Full Life with Dr John Barletta

What does a good, full life look like to you?

There are specific things you can do to create this a reality.

In this episode Dr John Barletta and I chat about the following:

• We can deliberately create and embrace opportunities so we can have a good, full life.


• Flourish by using PERMA(H):
  
  
  • Positive emotions: deliberately find activities that provide positive emotions
  
  
  • Engagement: find a space where you can get in the zone to experience flow
  
  
  • Relationships: positive connections with other people
  
  
  • Meaning: the deeper purpose and goal behind why do I do the things that I do in my life?
  
  
  • sense of Accomplishment or Achievement: move forward with endeavours big and small to gain a sense of mastering in your life
  
  
  • Health: what I am doing to look after my mind and body, such as exercise, nutrition, and mindfulness
  
  


• Relationships are critical for flourishing
