We hear of “self-help”, “self-care” and “self-development”, but “emotional wellness” is a term you may not have heard much of. Emotional wellness is the ability to process our feelings in a healthy way and manage stress.

Stress can be either mental or emotional and can have a negative impact on your body. Stress can affect the immune system, cause physical reactions and contribute to poor health. It is important to manage your stress in a way that will keep you healthy emotionally, mentally and physically.

October is emotional wellness month, so we will focus on ways to manage stress and stay healthy. Check out some of our previous blogs to get started on a healthy track.
