You know a few emotionally healthy people. Their relationships seem to go smoothly. They get their work done on time. Happiness appears to be their most common emotional state. They donāt have financial challenges. They maintain a healthy bodyweight.
They donāt seem to any more talented or intelligent than you. Whatās the difference? Why do they manage life more easily and effectively than you do?
Emotionally healthy people do things that others do not:
1. Create healthy boundaries. Successful relationships require healthy boundaries. When boundaries are undefined or unhealthy, the relationship will eventually have a negative impact on your life. Consider where youāre vulnerable and create boundaries to protect yourself.
2. Delay gratification. Whether you want to finish school, lose 20 pounds, or get your work done before 5:00 pm, itās necessary to delay gratification. For example, eating a cupcake now is more gratifying in the moment than declining. But in the long run, forgoing cupcakes will help you meet your goal of losing weight.
Those that act impulsively and canāt delay gratification lack the ability to follow through with wise long-term decisions. If you make life easy on yourself in the short-term, you pay the price in the long-term.
3. Emotionally healthy people can be by themselves. āBy yourselfā doesnāt mean sitting on the couch with a pizza and Netflix. Youāre not alone. You actually have two companions with you.
Can you sit quietly, by yourself, with nothing but your thoughts? Or does anxiety about your life create too much discomfort? How much time do you spend distracting yourself from reality?
4. They are able to adapt to change. Do you go with the flow or does any change throw you for a loop? Emotionally healthy people are able to roll with the punches and maintain a positive attitude. Emotionally healthy people "bend, but they don't break."
5. Deal with discomfort effectively. Those that canāt deal with emotional discomfort lead chaotic lives. Itās only when the discomfort of not taking action becomes so great that theyāre finally able to do something. By then, itās too late. When you can take a deep breath and take effective action in the face of emotional discomfort, life is a snap. š§āāļø
6. Love others.š Only emotionally healthy people can truly love others in a positive way. To care, trust, and attach to another person honestly requires good mental health.
7. Take care of themselves physically. Do you only eat when youāre hungry? Do you make healthy food choices? Are you able to get yourself to exercise even if you donāt feel like it? Do you go to the doctor and dentist regularly? If your emotional health is up to par, you can do these things consistently.
8. Emotionally healthy people are reliable. š Can people count on you to keep your word? Fulfilling your promises and obligations is one sign of emotional health.
9. Act proactively. Are you able to look ahead and see the potential sticking points and then avoid them? Or do you wait until the wheels are coming off before you take action? Living well isnāt just about skillfully dealing with challenges. Ideally, itās about intelligently avoiding them when possible. Are you emotionally healthy? Emotionally healthy people do things that unhealthy people do not. The ability to control impulses and deal with emotional discomfort effectively are two of the most important components of emotional health. Do you need to make a change? š¤
Work to create habits that support these areas. While itās possible to make these changes by yourself, getting professional help š„¼ can be even more effective. Acquire these traits of the emotionally healthy and youāll find that youāre living a life that you enjoy.š¤
