Wellness Tip: Healthy Emotions: Healthy habits keep you physically, mentally well

Healthy habits keep you physically, mentally well: "We all go through disappointments, loss, and change. But while these are normal parts of life, they can still cause sadness, anxiety, and stress. The difference is that people with good emotional health have an ability to bounce back from adversity, trauma, and stress.

This ability is called resilience. To build your resilience involves maintaining flexibility and balance in your life as you deal with stressful circumstances and traumatic events.

This happens in several ways, including: Letting yourself experience strong emotions, and also realising when you may need to avoid experiencing them at times in order to continue functioning.

Stepping forward and taking action to deal with your problems and meet the demands of daily living, and also stepping back to rest and reenergise yourself, spending time with loved ones to gain support and encouragement, and also nurturing yourself and relying on others, and also relying on yourself.

Taking care of your body is a powerful first step towards mental and emotional health. The mind and the body are linked. When you improve your physical health, you will automatically experience greater mental and emotional well-being."
