Hello, Like a lot of us, I too read Adam Grant’s NYT piece There’s a Name for the Blah You’re Feeling: It’s Called Languishing and thought ‘it me’. The below in particular was thought-provoking and comforting to read. Languishing is a sense of stagnation and emptiness. It feels as if you’re muddling through your days, looking at your life through a foggy windshield. And it might be the dominant emotion of 2021 . . . It’s the void between depression and flourishing — the absence of well-being. You don’t have symptoms of mental illness, but you’re not the picture of mental health either. You’re not functioning at full capacity. Languishing dulls your motivation, disrupts your ability to focus, and triples the odds that you’ll cut back on work. It appears to be more common than major depression — and in some ways it may be a bigger risk factor for mental illness.
