We spend so much of our time dealing with things of the outside world that sometimes, our internal world (like our emotional wellness) get’s pushed to the back burner. We engage in conversations, find ourselves scrolling social media, watching the news or reading the latest article. We give our time and energy to others whether that be professionally or personally. Our brains are sometimes so preoccupied with the outside noise that we don’t always focus on what the inside chatter has to say.
Taking the time to do daily check in’s is a GREAT practice to figuring out what you and your body need in order to remain in a well-balanced and optimal state. There are so many self-care practices you can pick up, routines you can form and like we’re going to talk about today – questions you can ask yourself in order to maintain a happy and healthy overall emotional wellness.
The Benefits of Checking In With Yourself
Just like our physical wellness, our emotional wellness is something that needs to be exercised and tended to aswell. When you start to feel overwhelmed, stressed or irritated, those are sure tell signs that your emotional wellness needs some checking in. But waiting for those emotions to arise shouldn’t be the only time you decide to tend to your emotional health. In fact, taking the time every day to check in with yourself helps you become more intune with your feelings and emotions, which helps you better navigate the challenges that you face in life and overall live a happier and healthier life.
Checking in with yourself and having a good emotional wellness is proven to help lower your stress levels, improve your relationships, reduce illness, improve behavioral regulation by being able to remain calm and reasoning, as well as improve your mood, energy and productivity.
