Good morning everyone, once again I’m going to write about the health… especially emotions how does emotion affect our health. we will discuss here… people who have good emotional health are aware of their thoughts, feelings and behaviours. they have learnt healthy ways to cope with the stress and problems that are a normal part of life. I think they feel good about themselves and have a healthy relationship.

Well, many things are there which happen in our life that can disturb are emotional health. this can lead to the strong feelings of sadness, stress or anxiety. even good or wanted changes can be as stressful as unwanted changes. these things can be

Our body responds to the way we think, feel and act. this is one type of mind and body connection. when we are stressed and anxious or upset our body reacts in a way that might tell us that something is not right. for example you might develop high blood pressure or a stomach ulcer after particularly stressful event such as the death of a loved one or anything else.

Poor emotional health can weaken our body’s immune system. this makes us more likely to get colds and other infections. during emotionally difficult Times you are feeling stressed or upset you may not take care of your health as well as you should. you may not feel like exercising, eating nutritious foods or taking medicines that your doctor prescribed. you may use alcohol, tobacco and other drugs.

Some people can feel trouble sleeping. They can be change in appetite, constipation, sweating, upset stomach etc.

if feelings of stress, sadness or anxiety are causing physical problem. keeping these feelings inside can make you feel worse.it’s okay to let your loved one know when something is bothering you. however keep in mind that your family and friends may not always be able to help you deal with your feelings appropriately. at these time, ask someone outside the situation for help, try asking your family doctor or a counsellor to help you improve your emotional health.

Well I personally believe that having good emotional health does not mean you are always happy or free from negative emotions. it is about having the skills and resources to manage the ups and downs of day-to-day life.

Feeling angry or frustrated can be a signal that something needs to change. if you don’t change the situation or thought patterns that are causing these uncomfortable emotions, you will continue to be triggered by them. Negative emotions are also the result of our thoughts surrounding and event, the way we interpret what happened can alter how we experience the event and whether or not it causes stress.

Cut down on your stress triggers and you will find yourself feeling negative emotions less frequently. Changing negative thought patterns through a process known as congestive restructuring.
