satisfaction in today’s challenging times.

Well- being and Life Satisfaction


Well-being and life satisfaction are interchangeably used but there is a thin line that distinguishes one from the
other. Well-being, being intrinsic in nature, is an inner, personal construct, associated with self-esteem, and self-
understanding. In other words, it is how good one feels about himself or herself that permeates his or her entire
being. On the other hand, life satisfaction is the contentment one has with the direction of one’s life is going, the
circumstances one finds oneself in, and the elements that make one’s life conditions. Life satisfaction is also intrinsic
but it is the general attitude towards life. When well-being and life satisfaction are present, happiness naturally
flows. Life satisfaction can refer to the desire to change one’s life, it is also associated with the quality of life.

How are well-being and life satisfaction achieved?


Factors that influence in achieving well-being and life satisfaction:
- Personal factors such as personality, cognition, physical health, and vigor
- Socio-economic status, home and social environment, interpersonal relationships, and education

What are the characteristics of people with high level of well-being and life satisfaction?
- Effective self- perception (being able to change their attitudes about themselves and engage in self-
monitoring to minimize negative attitudes)
- Realistic self-esteem and self- acceptance (self-valuation and self-respect)
- Control of behavior (behavior awareness and regulation)
- True perception of the world (harboring healthy perception of their environment and place within it)
- Sustaining relationships and affection (manifesting empathy and sharing of positive emotions with others)
- Self- direction and productivity (making sure their goals and behaviors are aligned to their core values and
conscious belief of themselves)
Within the context of spirituality, being cognizant of one’s purpose in life, accepting limitations and celebrating
strengths, enabling love and concern for others, and engaging in behaviors that embody all these will lead one to
have well-being and life satisfaction.
Manifesting these qualities promotes healthy well-being and increases life satisfaction, which results to a positive
mental health and healthy disposition.
