Flourishing Future Foundation
What if you could identify the exact moment when your mind starts working against you? And what if you had a toolkit to identify and articulate the cognitive-emotional blocks that inhibit the transition from languishing to flourishing? This paper introduces the concept of Pre-Flourishing Appraisals (PFAs), a situational, intrapsychic framework that functions as a pre-intervention awareness tool, enabling individuals to accurately locate the form and intensity of their cognitive constriction in specific situations. It provides the intrapsychic clarity required before applying structured transformation processes such as the TURN method or the Inversive Mechanism. By surfacing and specifying the pre-flourishing state, PFAs contribute to more targeted, timely, and self-directed flourishing outcomes.
