Emotional Wellbeing
Emotional Wellbeing allows us to recognize, understand, experience and express a full range of emotions and to channel our emotions into healthy behaviors that satisfy our personal and social goals.
Emotional wellbeing may include contentment and self-assurance in life, resiliency and the ability to cope with life’s ups and downs, and a sense of life purpose. The capacity to develop gratifying relationships with other people is both fundamental to and an outgrowth of emotional wellbeing. It is closely related to the Spiritual and Social dimensions. Understanding and appreciating our strengths and limitations, developing appropriate levels of autonomy, effectively managing anger, stress, and conflict, and communicating effectively and meaningfully with others all contribute to a positive state of emotional wellbeing.
