Emotional Wellness

People with high emotional well-being have the capacity to experience, express, and manage their emotions. They are generally happy and comfortable with themselves, but are also able to experience sadness, anger, and other difficult emotions when appropriate without feeling overwhelmed or hopeless about ever feeling happy again. They are aware of themselves and how they tend to respond to things emotionally, and they know what they need to do to feel happy and satisfied over the long term.
