3 Odd Ways to Boost Emotional Health

By Genevieve Cunningham

There’s a lot of talk about boosting health. When we hear this, we immediately think of physical health. And if we don’t think about the physical aspect, then our mind jumps to mental wellness. But there’s another kind of health that often gets forgotten. Emotional health. When emotional health suffers, it can damage overall health and make life a little less enjoyable. But what can you do about it? If you would like to keep your emotional health in check and feel happier on a regular basis, take a look at these tips.

Learn a Specific Hobby

Learn to play a musical instrument. Learn to speak another language. Try archery or knitting or another skilled hobby. Why? Because learning something new and challenging engages the mind and allows stress to fall away. And stress is incredibly bad for emotional health. It doesn’t matter what you learn as long as it’s something that suits your interests and makes you feel empowered as you learn.

Go Out With Friends

It’s not enough to have thousands of online friends. Emotional health can only be at its best when you have people to see and talk to face to face. Go out for coffee, dinner, or a movie. Meet at someone’s house and just talk. It’s the personal contact and touch that heals emotional scars, so make some plans with your loved ones and watch your health improve.

Smile

Have you ever heard the expression “fake it 'til you make it?” This actually works. And when it comes to feeling emotionally stable, it can serve a big purpose. If you’re feeling low, just smile. Smile all day long. Smile even when you don’t want to. Smiling tells the body that you’re happy, and even if you’re faking it, you’ll eventually start to believe yourself. Use this little trick and you’ll probably find your emotional health improving rather quickly.

Emotional health is an important aspect of overall wellness and life in general. It's a piece of our mental wellness, and yet it can also stand all alone. And even though it greatly affects us, we don’t really give emotional health much thought. It matters, and it's time we treat it that way. Use these tips to protect yourself emotionally, and your health as a whole will improve in no time at all.
