I never heard of mental and emotional health before this and I never knew the importance of this two things in our lives. also never took care of it . To enjoy life to the fullest I seriously need to improve on these in my life.
As defined in the WikiPedia, "Mental health is a term used to describe either a level of cognitive or emotional well-being or an absence of a mental disorder. From perspectives of the discipline of positive psychology or holism
mental health may include an individual's ability to enjoy life and
procure a balance between life activities and efforts to achieve psychological resilience. Mental health is an expression of our emotions and signifies a successful adaptation to a range of demands."
The World Health Organization
defines mental health as "a being of well-being in which the individual
realizes his or her own abilities, can cope with the normal stresses of
life, can work productively and fruitfully, and is able to make a
contribution to his or her community"

Building your resilience
Resilience involves maintaining flexibility and balance in your life as you deal
with stressful circumstances and traumatic events. This happens in several ways, including:
- Letting yourself experience strong emotions, and also realizing when you may need to avoid experiencing them at times in order to continue functioning
- Stepping forward and taking action to deal with your problems and meet the demands of daily living, and also stepping back to rest and re-energize yourself
- Spending time with loved ones to gain support and encouragement, and also nurturing yourself
- Relying on others, and also relying on yourself
As mentioned by in this website http://www.helpguide.org/mental/mental_emotional_health.htm
"People who are emotionally healthy are in control of their emotions and their behavior.
They are able to handle life’s inevitable challenges, build strong relationships,
and lead productive, fulfilling lives. When bad things happen, they’re able
to bounce back and move on."
...Yeah I want that!!!! I WANT.. I WANT.. I WANT..
and my sounding board when am stressed is a very close person to me and I am so glad that she is always there to listen to me.. but I think I have overused her kindness and compassionate heart .. Oooppps well hope she forgives me .. Me and my Dramatical Soap Opera Life .. hahahahaha anyways ... I need to nurture myself coz Its a beautiful World and its to be lived fully .. I strive to be Cheerful everyday ..
