Good Mental Health - What It Is, And How To Achieve It
Mental health is the emotional and spiritual resilience which enables us to enjoy life, and survive pain, disappointment, and sadness. A shorter term for this is an emotionally healthy person.
Wellness is defined as an active, lifelong process of becoming aware of choices, developing skills, and making decisions towards a more balanced and fulfilling life.
Emotionally healthy people have a mind-set that actively seeks the appropriate response to life’s events. They do not see symbols of wealth and power as defining them. They may enjoy fine clothes, houses, cars, and other items of material wealth, but these items don’t define who they are. They use these items to make life more abundant for everyone involved, not as a way to foster narcissism. They have the ability to enjoy the finer things in life, but they don’t need them.
