Psychological studies show that having people to talk to during bad times greatly increases emotional health and well-being. Many people that we support say that it helps to participate into well being activities to relieve stress and anxiety.
ACTIVITIES TO PROMOTE EMOTIONAL WELL-BEING
Meditating
The more you meditate, the more impact one meditation session will have on your mood. This can help in ensuring that your emotions don’t overwhelm you as much.
Learn Something New
Research shows that learning new skills can also improve your mental wellbeing by boosting self-confidence and self esteem helping you to build a sense of purpose and to connect with others
Take some ‘me’ time
It’s important to take some time out to rejuvenate yourself. Go for a hike by yourself or with a dog. Engage in a hobby. Write down all the things you’re thankful for, as this has been proven to boost happiness. Go see a funny movie by yourself.
Exercise and healthy eating
Exercise has profound effects on physical, mental and emotional health. It triggers stress reducing chemicals and stabilizes moods.
Social networks
Having supportive relationships in your life. Spending time with family and friends.
Join a group or a club
