 Psychological well-being
✗ Psychological well-being is about lives going well.
✗ It is the combination of feeling good and functioning effectively.

emotions of happiness and contentment, but also such emotions as
interest, engagement, confidence, and affection.
✗ The concept of functioning effectively (in a psychological sense)
involves the development of one's potential, having some control over
one's life, having a sense of purpose (e.g. working towards valued
goals), and experiencing positive relationships.

1. Creating Purpose- Living a life with meaning and purpose is
key to improve psychological well-being. Working toward goals

earning money.
2. Positive Thinking- Means that you approach unpleasantness in
a more positive and productive way. You think the best is going
