Flourishing in Ministry Assessment

• Daily Wellbeing refers to the quality of our daily lives in a holistic sense – physically, emotionally, cognitively, relationally, spiritually, and vocationally. It includes how often we experience positive emotions and/or negative emotions. Daily Wellbeing includes having a generally positive evaluation of the quality of one’s life over  time, such that we experience a sustained positivity.
• Resilience is the capacity to adapt to the inevitable changes and challenges in life, achieve goals, and continue to grow. Resilience also includes the capacity to bounce back after experiencing adversity.
• Thriving is experiencing meaning and purpose, having inspirational beliefs that guide us morally, and having deep, positive connections to God and other people.
• Authenticity is made up by two dimensions: Dignity and Self-Integrity. Dignity refers to the experience of being treated with respect, and feeling valued just for who we are. Self-Integrity involves having a positive, stable sense of self-worth. Self-worth must be a balanced self-worth, meaning that we must embrace both our strengths and vulnerabilities.
