Well-being is not permanent happiness
Psychological well-being includes pleasant emotion and the capacity to live through loss, strain, and uncertainty. It relates to meaning, relationships, autonomy, self-acceptance, influence over part of life, and growth.

Carol Ryff's six dimensions
Ryff's model describes self-acceptance, positive relationships, autonomy, environmental mastery, purpose in life, and personal growth. It is not a test of a “correct life”; dimensions can change unevenly.
Words from Dmytro Telushko
“Well-being is not the absence of difficult feelings. It is enough support to remain in contact with oneself, other people, and reality while retaining room for choice.”
