Below I have outlined some self-reflection questions (which link with my flourishing workbook) for Educational Psychologists to consider how they are ‘flourishing’ in their careers: 

Positive emotions 

• Do you experience enjoyable, positive emotions at work, or when thinking about work? 
• Do you experience pleasure and enjoyment in-the-moment whist at work? 
• Is there a feel-good factor to your work? 

Engagement 

• Do you feel focused and ‘in flow' at work? 
• Do you feel like you are applying your strengths to your work? 
• Does your work align with your skillset and abilities?
• Do you have an appropriate level of challenge?  

Relationships 

• How do you get on with others at work? (Colleagues, team members, senior leaders, service users) 
• Do you have a sense of belonging at work? 
• Do you have positive connections with others in your wider network? 
• Do you feel like you have ‘found your tribe’ in your EP career? (Like-minded people who share the same interests and values) 

Meaning 

• Do you feel like your work has meaning? 
• Do you feel a sense of purpose in your work? 
• Do you feel like you are making a difference? In what way? How do you know? 
• How do you feel about the impact of your work? 

Achievement 

• Do you feel a sense of personal/professional growth in your work? 
• Are you learning?
• Are you setting and achieving goals in your career? 
• Which accomplishments are you most proud of? 
• Are you ready for your next challenge in your career? Do you know what that might look like?
