"Languishing is a sense of stagnation and emptiness. It feels as if you’re muddling through your days, looking at your life through a foggy windshield. And it might be the dominant emotion of 2021.

Languishing is the neglected middle child of mental health. It’s the void between depression and flourishing — the absence of well-being.

We still have a lot to learn about what causes languishing and how to cure it, but naming it might be a first step. It could help to defog our vision, giving us a clearer window into what had been a blurry experience. It could remind us that we aren’t alone: languishing is common and shared."

The neglected middle child of mental health can dull your motivation and focus — and it may be the dominant emotion of 2021.
