Although it is still often overlooked, emotional health is absolutely essential to your physical health and the healing abilities of your body. Looking after your state of mind is as important as taking care of your body. But most people neglect their emotional health and only pay attention to their physical health.

Emotional health and wellbeing is about how we feel, think and behave. Nobody feels blissfully happy and thinks positive thoughts all the time. However, a person in a generally good state of mind finds it much easier to enjoy life.

People who are emotionally healthy are in control of their thoughts, feelings and behaviors. They feel good about themselves and have good relationships with the people close to them. They can keep problems in perspective. By staying calm and level-headed, they often can solve their problems.

Emotions and how you manage them is the key to having good emotional health. Many cultures consider negative emotions like anger and frustration to be bad. They teach their children to suppress their anger and frustration and brush it aside.

However, this suppression of anger or frustration is unhealthy emotionally. All emotions are useful to you, even negative ones. Negative emotions must be recognized and acknowledged. This way, the stress from negative emotions is released instead of being kept inside. This does not mean that you have to act on the negative emotions.

You need not show your anger by banging on the table. A better idea is to tell yourself: "Yes I am very angry and my blood is boiling right now. But what is the best way to resolve this situation of anger?"

Self esteem is part of emotional health. Healthy self-esteem is being able to accept ourselves as worthy and worthwhile without conditions or reservations. You must not judge yourself on past successes or failures. You are a worthy person no matter what.

Being praised helps to improve self esteem. Whenever people are praised, they tend to justify that they are not worthy of the praise. Do yourself a favour. The next time a person praises you, thank him or her and recognize the praise.

In fact, one should go as far as to record the praise down and put it down on paper. A good practice is to collect praises and compliments regularly and note them down in a file. This way, whenever you feel down or depressed, you just whip out the file and read it. You will instantly feel better and worthy.

Eating a healthy, balanced diet can help you feel better and also control your weight. A leaner you will feel more attractive and confident. Eating breakfast is important as it will give you more strength and staying power and help you to stay on your tasks throughout your day.

Coconut oil provides a boost in energy and also increased metabolism for better digestion. When people experience higher energy levels and good digestion, they feel livelier, more energetic and less sluggish. This no doubt helps to lift their spirits, letting enjoy better emotional health.
