EMOTIONAL WELLNESS MONTHOctober is emotional wellness month and no, that does not mean that you can slack the other eleven months. Nice try though. What it does mean, is that this is a time to become more aware of your emotional health and to begin to make positive changes.
Emotional wellness is closely connected to the other dimensions of wellness. In the most basic sense, it refers to your ability to handle emotions in a constructive way in order to enable you to maintain a positive emotional state.
Emotional wellness helps a person achieve positive self-esteem, helping them satisfy relationships and providing resilience to meet life's challenges.
Components of good emotional wellness:
- The degree one feels positive and enthusiastic about self and life
- The realistic assessment of one's limitations
- The development of autonomy
- The ability to cope with and manage stress
- Optimism
- Self-confidence
- Laughter
- Outwardly expressing personal feelings
- Satisfying relationships
- Happiness
An emotionally well person is able to enjoy life and be successful. Emotional wellness is not an end stage, but a continual process of change and growth.
