6 Tips to Living an Emotional Healthy Life
When we are happy, we are healthier. There is a huge connection between our physical and emotional health. Research states happiness is closely tied to being happy with your job, your closest relationships and taking care of yourself physically and emotionally.
Happiness lowers your risk for cardiovascular disease, lowers your blood pressure, enables better sleep, improves your diet, allows you to maintain a normal body weight through regular exercise and reduces stress.
Happy Employees are 12% more productive. Companies with happy employees outperform other companies by 20%.
While each person has a genetic set point for happiness (like we do for weight), a big chunk of how you feel is under your control, meaning the way you spend your time and the thoughts you allow to linger can really impact your mood and your long-term happiness.
- Always be open- when we are open, we can view situations as opportunities and possibilities. Even mistakes/failures become teachable/learnable moments.
- You can’t give what you don’t have – don’t try to be everything for everybody. It’s impossible and sets you up for failure. Make yourself a priority – how can you be there for others, if your burnt out emotionally, physically, mentally and/or spiritually. Making yourself a priority allows you the wellbeing to be there for others.
- Clear your emotional clutter – become aware of your thoughts. If our thoughts are negative, judgmental, and self-critical, you will stay in a state of negativity. Moods/ emotions are contagious. Is this what you want to pass down to your kids, friends, co-workers, etc.?
- What am I doing to make this world a better place? You should be living the legacy you want to leave. Ask the question daily: How can I make this world a better place? Your acts of kindness can change the world.
- Never hold on to anger, blame or resentment, it only hurts you. When we hold on to anger, it affects every choice/decision we make. We don’t want to make decisions based on anger or fear. Forgiveness is a process done for you and you are only. It doesn’t justify or excuse anyone’s behavior, it allows you to have the power to move forward. Forgiveness is the best gift you can give yourself whether you're angry at yourself, others, or both.
- Are your decisions/choices based on fear or love? When we make decisions based on fear, we allow our decisions to be based on anger, desperation, or impulsivity. These decisions usually turn out to be the wrong ones and can cause us more pain. Instead make your decisions/choices from a place of love and clarity.
