Emotional Well-Being

Emotional well-being is the ability to produce positive emotions, moods, thoughts, and feelings, and adapt when confronted with adversity and stressful situations.

We’re all more aware of it right now, coming off of a year that triggered more intense emotions for many people. But attending to your emotional well-being is always a good investment, in good times or bad.

Life presents events that challenge you, but when you know how to face these obstacles with a resilient mindset, your confidence in your ability to get through any circumstance is strengthened.

One of its foundations is resilience, which allows you to navigate challenging life events. Think of resilience like a muscle. It flexes and develops the more you use it. Resilience impacts how you face challenges and how you think about the challenges you face.

A positive sense of well-being…enables an individual to be able to function in society and meet the demands of everyday life. Well-being generally includes global judgments of life satisfaction and feelings ranging from depression to joy.”

“If we do not transform our pain, we will most assuredly transmit it — usually to those closest to us: our family, our neighbors, our co-workers, and invariably, the most vulnerable, our children.”

As you place more emphasis on your emotional well-being, you’re able to:

● Receive and offer feedback with a healthy perspective.

● Have discussions and difficult conversations with anyone.

● Establish stronger relationships.

That’s because your level of understanding, empathy, humor, and compassion increases.

● You view yourself and others with less judgment.
