Emotional Health & Wellbeing

What is Emotional Health?

Emotional health is a person’s ability to accept and manage feelings through challenge and change. Someone who is emotionally healthy can allow their emotions to be digestible. The ordinary hassles of daily life offer opportunities to practice responses, rather than reactions to allow emotional health to flourish.

Overall health includes physical, intellectual, emotional, social, and spiritual aspects. When they are in balance and alignment, human beings thrive. Each of these areas of life will influence the others.

Emotional health includes both emotional intelligence and emotional regulation.

There is potential emotional distress around every corner. A person who practices a healthy emotional lifestyle will be better able to handle negative events.
