Often, it is observed that people put their main focus on their physical fitness, which is very good. Anyways, it is very important for people to take into consideration their emotional health. When one has this, he or she is in control of his or her thoughts, feelings and behavior. However, due to a number of reasons, people suffer emotional problems or mental illnesses.
Fear, anxiety, sorrow, love, frustration and depression are some factors that have a great impact on people's emotional fitness. People should have the ability to understand their emotions, to distinguish between different feelings and label them appropriately, to use emotional details to aid them in thinking and behaving and thereby managing these emotions to achieve their goals.
Good emotional health can be related to happiness. Happiness is when one acquires a good state of mind and it is derived from within. In order for one to achieve this state, one may consider staying away from those who bring him or her down, valuing his or her values, having trustworthy relationships and having the ability to understand his or her fears and figuring a way to look at the bigger picture to achieve his or her dreams.
