Tips On How To Boost Emotional Wellbeing

1. Practice emotional awareness

Often, self-reflection leads to an awareness of one's emotions: What are we feeling? Why do we feel the way that we do? What could assist us in ceasing to experience these things? When we're not aware of our emotions, we may engage in behaviors that hurt our emotional well-being. However, by becoming more aware of our emotions, we can start to identify the things, people, and ideas that make us feel a certain way and then take steps to feel better.

2. Practice mindful acceptance

Emotional acceptance is a component of mindfulness as well as emotional awareness. Feelings can be accepted emotionally when we do so without passing judgment. This helps prevent the development of secondary negative emotions. For instance, guilt is a secondary emotion if you feel bad about being furious. Acceptance of our negative emotions helps prevent these extra negative emotions from emerging. To practice acceptance, try to let your emotions come and go without labeling them as good or bad. Simply leave them alone. One way to develop this skill is through mindfulness meditation.

3. Refocus your attention

Transferring your focus from negative to positive aspects of life is another tactic for emotional well-being. For example, if we're focusing on the worst things in our lives or a situation, we might shift our attention to focus on the good parts. Although it may seem difficult, studies have shown that focusing on neutral stimuli rather than frightening ones can help people feel less anxious.

4. Practice reappraisal

Reappraisal is a technique for managing emotions that entails changing one's perspective to one that is less stressful. We feel better as a result, and eventually, our emotional well-being can improve. You can practice reappraising situations by listing things that are good in different situations—for example, how is this an opportunity to grow, what did you learn, and what are the good parts? Because reappraisal is a skill, it can get simpler with practice.

5. Try emotional distancing

Emotional distancing involves imagining yourself as “a fly on the wall” when you are going through a hard time. Alternatively, you may consider yourself to be gazing back at your present self from the future. For example, after a fight with your partner, think about how you'll feel about this fight in a week, month, or year. When we practice emotional detachment, we typically feel less horrible and bounce back from traumatic events faster.

TIP OF THE DAY

Experiment with counting breaths

Counting each exhale up to a certain number before starting back at one can help you maintain focus on your breath and prevent your mind from wandering. This breathing exercise can aid in concentration and help you build mental resilience. Start by counting to four and gradually increase the number as you become more comfortable with the meditation technique.
