How To Develop Emotional Health?

Hi Getbrowser, It's high time that we should focus on taking food care of our emotional state--our emotional health. THere are so many ways for us to many our negative feelings and energies-- and you can try doing the following: 1. deep breathing - the tripple 8 breathing exercise (inhale count 1 to 8, then hold count 1-8, exhale slowly 1-8) Do this for 4 times. 2. laugh a lot. 3. find someone to talk to. 4. debrief by singing, dancing, engaging into sports and do something productive Simple ways but if practice regularly will promote positive emotional state.

I truly believe that if you have "disproportionate" mental and emotional health, it will bring havoc to your physical health twofold. So it's really important to put balance on this aspect of our well-being. Make sure that we allow ourselves to have some good times by talking to someone who you can trust and admire, because in that sense you help your mental and emotional health that you get when you talk with that person.

Very simple. Do meditation for at least 15 minutes a day. Try to see your innerself, forget the outside world. If you cannot understand, concentrate on a light in your heart or your favourite God, think only about that and nothing else. Thoughts will come and go but do not bother. Let it come and go and you concentrate on meditation. Still you cannot, then concentrate on your heart beat, breath. Slowly your mind will find peace and you will have immense change in yourself.

Hey getbrowser~ This is a very difficult question that I really don't think one can answer. It is one thing to try and take care of one's own physical health because we have a bit more control over that. We can excercise, watch what eat and make sure that we take the proper care of our body by getting enough rest and everything else that we are supposed to need to try and stay healthy. But, when it comes to our emotional health, that is alot more difficult to control. We can try to stay calm, do the things that make us happy, keep a positive attitude, stay in the company of people that give off positive feelings. But, there is only so much you can do to try and control one's emotional health. There are times that we need to get help for that because it is alot harder to stay emotionally healthy then we think. And if we feel that we can't do it on our own it is not a sin to seek counsel. It is better to get help for emotional problems like depression then to let it fester and get worse. I am a firm believer in counseling since I am have serious depression problems myself and do go for counseling and take medication. It is just like having a physical illness that you need to take medication for.

It is interesting that you should ask this because I have discovered something interesting about myself. I have always believed that you can train yourself to change aspects of yourself that you don’t like. For years I suffered from depression which led to anxiety and anger problems thus reducing my emotional intelligence to a very low level. I used to think every day that if I worked hard enough I could change until I saw my doctor who prescribed a form of antidepressant for me and my life has changed tenfold; I could not believe this was possible so it goes to show that you can put the work in to change your emotional status and succeed over time or it may well be a case of a chemical imbalance that needs to be attended to medically. It is vital to work on our E.I. because an imbalance there can show itself physically thus affecting our general health.

Hi there and smile! Reigning "Negative Emotions" is the root cause of our "emotional Imbalance", which makes us unhappy, obviously the greatest source of unhappiness comes from inside. Deriving Happiness -in fact- is an art of learning of, how to derive contentment within our limited available resources, whilst try for the better than that on our hand. Many people have exhausted their fortunes and wasted many years of their lives trying to draw happiness in their lives by using numerous modalities. These things work, but the problem is that for most people they only work marginally or take a long time to get worthwhile results. This is for various reasons but main is that, their body and soul altogether, could never finely tune to that therapy or class, obviously it widens the gap between expectations and actual results that the person deserves out of that therapy. Naturally that person stuck with a situation that is either not satisfying or not living up to his or her expectations. Our 'inner sorrow' implies nothing other than the accumulated negative emotions at the core of our psyche. Always try to find out the root causes of negative emotions and understand how they came about. Then forgive those, whom you have been blaming to be responsible for your hostile surrounding and finally assess your own nature and your overall attitude towards life. You will find your own nature, weird personality traits and attitude rather than other factors, are primarily responsible for your under-nurturing personality. Your self-destructive behavioral traits like selfishness, disdainful attitude, bad habits, ego, indecisiveness, sloth or shilly-shallying nature are major roadblocks on your way. So try to discard bad habits, resort to good things like yoga, meditation or exercise. A lot of effort must be expended to achieve all this, as it is a radical change. Happy mylotting and smile always!

Physical health has a lot to do with emotional health. For some reason when you feel and look good physically, you feel better emotionally. I don't think it's something that can be done separately.

Thinking about it is a good start. It is amazing how many people just do not give it a thought and go from day to day and year to year just doing whatever they have always done and not evaluating their progress. Actually many books have been written with this sort of advice and they can be found in the self-help and motivatinal sections of the library or bookstore.

hi getbrowser What can we do to improve our emotional ' well being? We can choose not to let all sorts of crap stress us out.WE can either let ourselves fall all apart over little stuff mostly or we can choose to let the small' stuff, and it is mostly small stuff, just run off our backs. We do not have to jump up and scream or cuss if the computer is slow, or the coffee is not hot enough. We can choose to laugh it off and save our blood pressure, our hearts and our nervous systems. Instead of always thinking the worst is going to happen, adopt a positive attitude and smile. It takes only six muscles to smile and twenty six to brown.Also we do need to exercise our brains as well as our' muscles. A brain not used becomes flabby and may turn senile in old age. Knit, crochet, play games, do puzzles,learn a new language, learn to paint, or to play golf, just do things that make you have to use your brains. Keep mentally active and you will keep mentally fit.Also learn to laugh everyday,it is good medicine for body and soul.

I think that as mucthe same amount of attention should be shown one as the other. There should be more attention payed to employer's family needs and therefore less stress for them. I also think that insurance should see to it that people have what they need in the way of counseling and nutritional health. I believe nutrition is the corner stone of good emotional and physical health.

Hello getbrowser. My major is Psychology.My professor has said:Do you want to be healthy?Go to jog now. It means that if you want to keep emotional healthy,the first you should do is keep your physical health.

People who are emotionally healthy are in control of their emotions and their behavior. They are able to handle life’s inevitable challenges, build strong relationships, and lead productive, fulfilling lives. When bad things happen, they’re able to bounce back and move on. Mental or emotional health refers to your overall psychological well-being. It includes the way you feel about yourself, the quality of your relationships, and your ability to manage your feelings and deal with difficulties. Good mental health isn't just the absence of mental health problems. Being mentally or emotionally healthy is much more than being free of depression, anxiety, or other psychological issues. Rather than the absence of mental illness, mental and emotional health refers to the presence of positive characteristics. These Characteristics are: * A sense of contentment. * A zest for living and the ability to laugh and have fun. * The ability to deal with stress and bounce back from adversity. * A sense of meaning and purpose, in both their activities and their relationships. * The flexibility to learn new things and adapt to change. * A balance between work and play, rest and activity, etc. * The ability to build and maintain fulfilling relationships. * Self-confidence and high self-esteem.
