This cluster deals with a broad spectrum of interconnected qualities, including aspiration, efficacy and beliefs, gratitude, identity, metacognition, mindfulness, motivation, positive self-evaluation, reflection, self-competencies, trust, and overall wellbeing (Līce, et al., 2023).
According to the American Psychological Association (2023), well-being is “a state of happiness and contentment, with low levels of distress, overall good physical and mental health and outlook, or good quality of life.” Good well-being allows individuals to create a supportive work environment, strengthen social ties and lead to an overall happier and healthier life.
On the other hand, Līce, et al., (2023) argue that “positive attitudes, optimism and a sense of personal purpose enhance the motivation to actively pursue long term goals” (p. 38).
Cultivating wellbeing, maintaining a positive attitude, and integrating mindfulness into daily practices contribute to personal balance and professional accomplishment. This approach ensures that individuals navigate challenges with resilience, focus, and the capacity to derive meaning from their experiences, ultimately enriching their journey.
