From Languishing to Flourishing
Some people say that languish is the dominant feeling of 2021. Languish is described as a sense of stagnation and emptiness – feeling as if you are muddling through your days. While it is normal to sometimes feel this way, especially during a global pandemic, all it takes is a small shift or pivot to flourish instead. Below are a few tips to help you pivot to thrive and prosper.
In nature, languish manifests as deterioration. For a withering plant to re-grow and flourish, it needs to be put in the proper environment, given the right nutrition, and shown ongoing care and patience. The same is true for us. If you feel like you’re languishing, take comfort knowing that it’s normal and a feeling that you can work through. Always consult a healthcare professional if your feelings move beyond languishing.
