Satisfaction in life is the ultimate goal of life. Satisfaction with life relates to positive outcomes of different domains of life like family, health, and job (Brief et al., 1993). In other words, how much the person likes his/her life which he/she is living is life satisfaction (Veenhoven, 1996). The present study explored the effect of mindfulness-based self-management therapy on life satisfaction among teachers. For the purpose of the study, thirty participants were selected on the basis of their low scores on the life satisfaction scale. Then nine weeks intervention was given to participants. The intervention programme of the MBSMT consists of four modules. In the first step awareness and acceptance skills were taught, the second step was about belief management, the third aspect of the intervention was related to the assessment of strengths and the last step was inculcating positive emotions. After the completion of the intervention the score on the life satisfaction variable was noted down. And analysis was made for the pre and post- assessment with the help of paired t-test, it has been observed that there is a significant difference in the mean score on the variable of life satisfaction among the participants. Further findings highlight the significant effect of mindfulness-based self-management therapy on the life satisfaction of teachers.

Psychological hardiness is a protective measure against life stressors that helps to enhance the individual's capability to combat various pressures of life with confidence. It is a combination of various attitudes that encourage and motivate the individual to turn the threats of life into opportunities for personal development. The present study aimed to examine the relationship between psychological hardiness and comorbid mental health problems among rural adolescents. For this purpose, 240 rural adolescents were selected from the four government schools of the Hisar district of Haryana. A self-structured General Information Sheet, Hardiness Scale by Bartone (1989) and DASS-21 by Lovibond and Lovibond (1995) were administered to selected adolescents to collect the required data. The data analysis revealed that psychological hardiness was negatively correlated to comorbid mental health problems among adolescents which indicated that a higher level of psychological hardiness leads to fewer mental health problems and better well-being. The findings of the study support the implementation of hardiness training programs that will boost the level of psychological hardiness among adolescents to combat the hardship of life with courage and confidence.Keywords
