Meaning in life is associated with subjective well-being, physical health, quality of life, work adjustment, and social attractiveness! A lack of meaning is associated with Psychological distress and depression. The purpose of this presentation is to describe the research on three important facets of a meaningful life, specifically purpose/goals, mattering, and coherence (making sense of life events) and to offer strategies for increasing a "felt sense" of meaning in your life.
Participants will learn about:
• The importance of meaning in life
• Sources of meaning
• How to increase a "felt sense" of meaning in life
