Languishing:
Moving Beyond the “Blahs”
Do you feel like you’re just going through the motions — not deeply unhappy, but not fully engaged? It’s called languishing and it’s more common than you might think, especially for older adults navigating life changes, shifting roles, and the challenging world around us. While languishing may seem harmless, staying in this “blah zone” can affect mental health, physical energy, and overall well-being.This course will help you understand what languishing is, why it happens, and how to move through it. With fun activities, reflection, and practical tools, you’ll learn ways to boost your mood, reconnect with meaning, and bring more joy into everyday life.
