The focus is on mind-body interventions within the framework of Positive Psychology, specifically in the context of a work setting. The report utilizes thematic analysis and a systematic search to answer the research question regarding the alleviation of mental health strain in healthy adults at work. The assessment reveals evidence on the effectiveness of mindfulness, physical exercise, and mind-body interventions, but highlights the limited understanding and application of these interventions due to the complexity of well-being and the need for more comprehensive guidelines. Overall, the report critiques the current state of well-being intervention research and its limitations in considering external influencing factors.
