How To Improve Your Emotional Well-being This October

“Be brave enough to live the life of your dreams, according to your vision and purpose, instead of the expectations and opinions of others” – Roy Benet

There are multiple, important moving parts that make up our overall well-being and it is equally important to make sure that these various aspects of our well-being are cared for in the right way.

There are eight specific dimensions to overall wellness that we all need to be aware of as human beings. They are:
Physical Wellness
Intellectual Wellness
Financial Wellness
Environmental Wellness
Spiritual Wellness
Social Wellness
Occupational Wellness and
Emotional Wellness

Since October is Emotional wellness month, we are going to focus on that today.

Emotional wellness refers to the ability to express feelings, enjoy life, and deal with emotional challenges.
It means that you know how to handle and express your feelings in the most positive way possible as well as be able to drive positive change in your life.

A little confused about what all this means? Well, here are signs to help guide you to know if you are emotionally healthy:

1.You like yourself and who you are as a person

2.You treat others well and you genuinely care for others.

3.You are empathic towards others.

4.You have a flexible mind (you can cope well in most situations and you think things through before acting).

5.You have meaning in your life.

6.You have an attitude of gratitude

7.You understand your emotions… sadness, anger, joy, excitement, fear, anxiety, insecurity…

8.You value experiences over earthly possessions.

Happy people

Building yourself up, knowing your worth, being respectful to others, being open and genuine and being aware of your mental health (knowing how to handle the stresses of life) can help you build emotional awareness.
