Emotional Wellness... Do you need it?
Why and How?

Research-packed Easy Tips:
1) Count the positive
Research at the University of Miami showed that people who literally count their blessings have a greater sense of well-being.
2) Be thankful
People experience a better mood for up to a month after they give a letter of gratitude to someone who have been kind to them.
3) Make friends
Chronic loneliness is associated with higher rates of high blood pressure, inactivity, smoking and stress, according to several studies.
4) Volunteer
People who donate an average of four hours a week to good causes show a greater sense of optimism, self-esteem, and sociability as reported in an Australian study made in February 2009.
5) Focus on the present
It was proven that employees who participate in an eight-week meditation course based on mindfulness, of focusing on the here and now, show less anxiety. In these studies, brain scans showed greater activity in the region associated with happiness even four months after the course ended.
6) Follow your passion
Have you noticed how, too often, we give up the things we enjoy most and set out for a very narrowed life. When you're aware of this, take time to identify what you love doing, or would love to try... and do it!
7) Move
Do some moderate exercising for about an hour each day to ensure a fresh supply of fresh air in your body. This oxygen exchange between blood and air helps speed metabolism, therefore leading to the mobilization of energy from nutrients. Exercise also helps give you a sense of control and can ease depression effectively.
8) Laugh
No doubt that a good laugh helps reduce stress, and maintain a healthy immune system. Laughing also improves arterial blood flow.
9) Tap on your thymus gland
Located in the upper part of the chest behind the breastbone is the thymus gland, a nursery for immune system cells to help fight infection. The unfortunate truth is that the older we get, the smaller this organ shrinks. However, there is an exercise to help stimulate the thymus gland and boost the health of your immune system: Gently tap with your fist on the middle of the breastbone for five minutes every morning.
That is a simple and most effective solution from

10) Drink water
Again, need I remind you that our bodies lose
three litres of water daily through urine, perspiration and breathing.
Too little fluid in our body inhibits the efficient working of the blood
and lymph systems which reduces energy and contributes to a sluggish
feeling. Eight to ten glasses a day is recommended.
