“Before doing the mapping work, read Seligman’s PERMA+ Model Explained: A Theory of Wellbeing and watch this PERMA with Martin Seligman.
Then, complete this Map Your Happy worksheet [source: University of Arizona]. The exercise helps you to develop self-awareness around those areas that are already working for you (so you can leverage this) and the areas where you need to do some work.
You can then start designing tiny experiments that engage you in those areas of your life that need attention.”
