Emotional Health

In order to live the happiest, healthiest life possible, we must care for more than just our physical health. Emotional Health is just as important as a healthy diet and exercise.

Stress comes to all of us in some form or another including worries about finances, job security, responsibilities and relationships – all take their toll on our emotional health. Stress is one of the biggest factors to disrupting our emotional health and ultimately our well-being. It is important to reduce stress in our lives, just like we reduce our fat, sugar and calorie intake to remain healthy.

EMOTIONAL HEALTH:

“The higher our self-esteem, the stronger the drive to express ourselves, reflecting the sense of richness within. The lower our self-esteem, the more urgent the need to “prove” ourselves or to forget ourselves by living mechanically and unconsciously.” ~A Woman’s Self-Esteem: Struggles and Triumphs in the Search for Identity by Nathaniel Branden

“The fact is that self-esteem and your circumstances are only indirectly related. There is another intervening factor that determines self-esteem 100 percent of the time: your thoughts.” ~Self-Esteem by Matthew McKay, Patrick Fanning

“At the root of fear is low self-esteem. This explains why angry people have low self-esteem, are argumentative, stubborn, and quick to flare up yet slow to forgive. Those behaviors are defenses against the underlying fear.” ~Setting Boundaries with Difficult People by David J. Lieberman Ph.D.
