Let's Get Emotionally Fit!
Summary:
Being emotionally fit means having a strong connection with your feelings and expressing them appropriately and confidently. People who excel at this are considered emotionally intelligent.Article:
In today's world, many people are focused on physical fitness, investing in skincare treatments, gym gadgets, and workout programs to enhance their body image. While striving for physical health is important, what about emotional fitness? Are we paying enough attention to our emotional well-being? Could anxiety and depression be indicators of a lack of emotional fitness?
From childhood, we are encouraged to develop our physical abilities. Parents support their children in building strength and agility through activities, encouraging them to explore their surroundings. However, not everyone receives the same encouragement to develop their emotional muscles?"to freely express a wide range of emotions.
Those who grew up learning to flex their emotional muscles are in touch with their feelings and can express them without embarrassment. These individuals are deemed emotionally intelligent.
In some cultures, especially among older generations, behaviors like being outspoken or expressing anger and joy are often discouraged. This can lead to people becoming timid and shy, finding it hard to express emotions. As a result, they may struggle with building relationships, which require emotional openness and honesty.
Just like physical muscles, emotional muscles can be underdeveloped or overdeveloped, leading to imbalances. For instance, an overdeveloped anger muscle may cause someone to get irritated easily, while an underdeveloped happiness muscle might make it difficult to express joy. People with an overdeveloped sadness muscle can be more prone to depression.
Achieving emotional fitness involves being aware of your emotions and finding healthy ways to express them daily or as needed.
Steps to Emotional Fitness:
An effective emotional fitness program follows strategic steps. According to Paulette Tomasson, a registered nurse with a master's degree in counseling psychology, the journey begins with self-assessment: Identify your current emotional state and your goals for improvement.
Consider these questions:
- What emotions do I experience throughout the day?
- Does one emotion dominate?
- Is my life affected by unexpressed emotions?
- Why am I hesitant to express certain feelings?
- How can I use my emotions constructively?
- How can I build emotional fitness to enhance my personal and professional life?
After this self-reflection, talk with family and friends for support. Counseling can also be an excellent way to strengthen your emotional muscles and achieve emotional well-being.
By prioritizing emotional fitness alongside physical health, we can lead more balanced, fulfilled lives.
