A physician with 30 years of experience defines flourishing as well-being in action. True well-being means being at ease with yourself, others, and the world, but only if you actively practice the behaviors that produce it.
So I call flourishing as well being in action. We may know what well being is, but am I really practicing? Am I really making those behaviors every day? As I continue to put well being in action, I continue to flourish. So I really simplified things. Flourishing is well being in action for me. So now you'll ask me what is well being. So well being has a little more nuance because I've really sat with it for like 30 years now since I graduated as a physician. I've been sitting and asking questions around well being. So for me it's really an experience and to very, very simply say well being is being at ease. So I'm not diseased but I'm at ease. So what am I at ease with? I'm at ease with myself, others and the world at large. So I'm really looking at well being as ease or harmony or wholeness. Nothing is missing.
