November wellness focus . . . . EMOTIONAL

The emotional dimension of wellness emphasizes an awareness and acceptance of one’s feelings. Emotional wellness includes the degree to which one feels positive and enthusiastic about oneself and life. It includes the capacity to manage one’s feelings and related behaviors including the realistic assessment of one’s limitations, development of autonomy, and ability to cope effectively with stress. The emotionally well person maintains satisfying relationships with others.

Emotional Wellness allows residents to be aware of and accept a wide range of feelings in themselves and others. They will be able to express feelings freely and manage feelings effectively. They will be able to arrive at personal choices and decisions based upon the synthesis of feeling, thoughts, philosophies, and behavior. On the wellness path, they will live as independently as possible while realizing the importance of seeking and appreciating the support and assistance of others. They will be able to form interdependent relationships with others based upon a foundation of mutual commitment, trust and respect. They will take on challenges, take risks, and recognize conflict as being potentially healthy. Benefits of Emotional Wellness:

• Emotional wellness is linked to better physical health and greater life satisfaction.

• Positive emotional well-being contributes to faster healing from stress, anxiety, grief and other issues associated with aging.

• A more positive outlook has been shown to balance hormone levels.

• Elderly persons who are emotionally well feel good about themselves, their relationships and their purpose of life.

• Emotional wellness results in fewer “emotional lows” and faster recuperation time when such lows exist.
