Are You emotionally healthy and balanced? It’s one of those complex and sometimes embarrassing questions that prompt people either giving a super quick answer of “of, course, I am !”, otherwise, what’s the alternative ? ”No, I am not”? Or, “I’m not sure “. The questions is rather complex and requires some thought. Emotions actually form the foundation for our ability to have healthy or unhealthy relationships, to work,get things done, to learn, in other words, to think and analyze. Emotions also supply the our attention, memory, interest, and will to act. The more emotionally developed we are, the more mentally healthy we are.
A person can really have an IQ of 200 and at the same time run miserable and unproductive and meaningless life. Hence, emotional health first.
Where do you stand ?
