In a world where we all aspire to achieve all our goals, be successful, and constantly hustle till we make it to the top, we neglect one of the major ingredients that can actually make it happen -Emotional Well Being.

What use is this human framework when you don’t even feel like getting up to start your day? As much as it has become an aspiration to maintain a healthy body, and a healthy lifestyle, it is only seldom when we think of our emotional health being a part of this ‘healthy lifestyle’.

Our emotional well being significantly influences our ability to thrive in various spheres of our life, ranging from personal growth, professional life, and even our social life. A healthy body, feeling demotivated at work, or confused in life will definitely not reap great results.

Personal growth  

Developing emotional resilience, which is the ability to navigate through stressful times, while adapting to change, and using your resources efficiently to overcome the situation, comes in handy in the area of personal growth. Individuals who are able to turn obstacles into opportunities, and are able to find meaning out of most experiences are rightly resilient. Emotional resilience fuels people to adapt to change positively, have a positive outlook, and follow their passion, to be able to find utmost success in where their heart lies. It makes people feel more confident, and lead a more fulfilling and contented life.

Professional success

It’s interesting to know how the intellect is not the only factor that keeps an individual going in their careers for a long. Emotional intelligence is another factor that goes unnoticed by many. The ability to understand interpersonal relationships, where you not only manage your own emotions but also the others around you is a key requirement for every professional. Workplace dynamics vary from individual to individual, but what stays common is communication and networking, which is a primary part of every and any job! Therefore it is one’s emotional intelligence that can contribute to decision-making, maintaining focus, striving in changing environments, and maintaining relationships at the workplace.

Social Relationships

A successful social life is not something we often hear of, but having healthy relationships, a great support system, and people that you confide in, definitely accounts for success in this area of our lives! A healthy social life is not typically a parameter to account for success, but it can do wonders if kept well. Our social lives act as an escape from all the work that we may be doing, personally or professionally. Interacting with our loved ones, and spending time with people who are like-minded is sometimes enough to refuel our energies and our minds! Developing empathy and compassion are two key rules in maintaining not only social relationships but almost all relationships in life, even the one with yourself.

Well, our emotional well-being can have a great impact on our holistic success, depending on what emotional state we are in. Both our physical and emotional well-being go hand in hand, and none is competent without the other! Undermining any of these can severely impact our functioning in some or the other area of life.
