Finding Purpose and Meaningful Pursuits and July EAP Newsletter

July 1, 2024

The need for purpose and meaning behind your actions is one of the defining characteristics of human beings. People are in a healthier state of psychological wellbeing when they are pursuing tasks that are meaningful to them. A lack of recognized and felt purpose or meaning in your life makes you vulnerable to boredom, anxiety, and depressive disorders. On the other hand, having a strong sense of purpose can have a positive effect. Deer Oaks EAP is here to support you 24/7/365 and can help you stay focused on and engaged with working towards your purpose(s), which makes life easier, less complicated, and less stressful overall.
