Feelings / Emotions
Feeling happy or sad about any given situation is a personal choice and different individuals can plot themselves at different positions on the continuum that exists between happiness and sadness.
The way you feel has a strong impact on your health so taking care of your feelings and emotions is as much a responsibility as taking care of your body is. What makes you happy, what makes you sad, what makes you fearful, what causes you worry and anxiety.1
Think about…
- Do you allow yourself to be open to and acknowledge your feelings without judgment?
- Have you found and developed safe relationships with people or groups where you can express your feelings and thoughts?
- Do you see challenges as opportunities for growth?
- Do you recognize your limitations and learn from your mistakes?
- Are you taking responsibility for your actions?
Resources…
- Reflect each day on your emotions, what can they teach you, and how you can express them.
- Consider using a journal to record feelings and thoughts.
- Develop regular habits that help you process and deal with your feelings effectively so you move forward in fulfilling your emotional needs.
- Find a place where you feel the most comfortable and go there when you feel a need for comfort, quiet space, or safety.
