Are You Languishing?

Adam Grant proposes that many of us are experiencing a state of languishing… “the neglected middle child of mental health (which) can dull your motivation and focus — and it may be the dominant emotion of 2021”. Grant is a well-known professor who connects business and psychology. His article in the NYT There’s a Name for the Blah You’re Feeling: It’s Called Languishing is well worth a read to better understand where you might be at the moment.

Grant covers the importance of naming one’s emotions while connecting to the E in PERMAH to find flow as one way to move out of the doldrums.
