Eku deede iwoyio
meaning hello everyone!
Although emotional
health cannot be compared 1 to 1 with physical health, it can be helpful to
think about it this way: everyone has a body, so everyone has physical health.
Many people
believe that if they aren’t feeling ill, then they don’t have to attend to their
physical health. But people who are physically fit know that just because you are not ill, does not
mean you are healthy. Emotional health is similar. Being “emotionally fit” takes time, patience, and persistence. Emotional
fitness is not characterized by the absence of major psychological disorders;
in fact, a person can be dealing with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder,
etc. and still be emotionally fit. The best way to be emotionally fit is
setting a SMART goal always.
SMART here means
Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant and Timely.
A Specific goal is
just that, specific. If you say“I want to be rich and successful” isn’t a
specific enough if there are no such details as asking yourself; what to do? , what skill do I need? , how to
acquire the skill? When? Etc.
Measurable goals
define the way you plan to get to the overall end goal. They’re a kind of
blueprint for you.
Attainable goals
require a bit of thought as well as some sense of self. They’re personal in
that only you can determine your ability to attain something.
Relevance is
important in almost every area of life. I mean, why do something if it’s not
relevant? A relevant goal establishes the “why?” of the process.
Timely in my
opinion is the most straightforward part of the whole SMART equation. Again,
this isn’t a vague, maybe-someday kind of goal.Timely means just that—set a
time frame for yourself. Whatever works, commit to it. Emotional fitness ( to
be of sound mind) is an ongoing commitment to looking inward, processing through
difficult emotions, and working toward self-awareness and self-improvement.
There and then you will be useful to your community.
Like any fitness
regimen, it needs to be maintained and will prevent more serious issues down
the line.That is how to be emotionally intelligent.
We celebrate with
you if you were born in August. Your glory will shine (Ogo re yio buyo) in this
month and always.
Have a wonderful
summer month everyone!
