Emotional Wellbeing is grounded in kindness toward self and an ability to recognize and perceive one’s own emotions and the emotions of others and respond skillfully.
Why is this important?
Being able to recognize and respond skillfully to one’s emotions is an important part of wellbeing and it takes a lot of practice. Practical tools can help the process.
This weeks challenge:
Kindness can be contagious. Practice productive, kind, positive self-talk by creating an affirmation for yourself that makes you feel proud, happy, or grateful. Then identify how you feel afterwards.
Take a look at your social media feeds. Identify those you follow that encourage positivity. Be bold and unfollow those who do not.
RESCHEDULED EVENT: Please look to most recent post on this for more details.
