Wakening and entering the day ahead of us is a fundamental part of being alive. How we engage in such a process is dependent on a range of factors that make it either an exciting and joyful start or one that can feel sluggish and listless. Connecting with our immediate environment through observing what is happening or actively connecting with it through physical activity opens up a space for us to consider our being in the world and our day ahead – what some people might see as our spiritual being. This moment of awakening that we each experience every day of our lives can be seen as a micro‐context of what we can come to know as ‘human flourishing’ and the conditions necessary for each of us to flourish in our lives. We would argue that the ultimate manifestation of person‐centredness is ‘flourishing persons’. In this chapter will encourage you to participate in a reflexive engagement with the idea of human flourishing and what it means for all of us in our lives. We will connect ideas of human flourishing with the ‘spiritual self’ and our existence as spiritual beings.
