EMOTIONAL HEALTH

Emotional health generally refers to feelings and moods you may feel sad, happy,worried, excited, frustrated, and fulfilled all in the same day. Like physical well-being emotional (psychological) health is more than the absence of problems or illness.

We know that to succeed in the world we must have inner discipline and a sense of control in our lives. This doesn't mean that we can accomplish what we set out to do or that we don't suffer disappointments and losses along the way.

Emotional healthy individuals are in touch or control in their feelings and can acknowledge and express them. Among the characteristics of emotionally healthy persons are the following;

Determination and effort to be healthy; flexibility and adaptability to a variety of circumstances; development of a sense of meaning in and affirmation of life; an understanding that the self is not the center of the universe; compassion for others ; the ability to be unselfish in serving or relating to others ; increased depth and satisfaction in intimate relationships; and a sense of control over the mind and the body that enables the person to make health-enhancing choices and decisions.
