I as I was working through the exercises in Part 2 I'm realizing one of the things I struggle with the most is feeling like I am enough for myself and for the important relationships in my life. I think its just the general sense of insecurity that life's current circumstances has shined a light on. This is making me realize that developing more confidence and security with myself needs a lot more cultivation.

Here's a definition of Flourishing: A broad state of positive human functioning that includes: 1. satisfaction and happiness with life, 2. good mental and physical health, 3. a sense of meaning and purpose, 4. strong close social relationships, and 5. character/virtue (moral and prosocial functioning). How would you rate your "flourishing" on a scale of 1 -5? Don't use this as an opportunity to beat yourself up, but rather as a baseline from which to recognize the areas that require attention and growth.
