Aiming for Emotionally Healthy Life? 5 Things You Must Believe About You
*Just because you still have areas to work on, doesn’t mean that you’re a failure.
Wise people are introspective. They will take a look at the things that they are doing well, and those they are not doing well. However, emotionally healthy people will not take those introspective moments as opportunities for self-abuse. They will use them to set growth goals.
Areas to work on = Goals for growth
*You have gifts that need to be unfolded.
Every person has things inside them that need to be discovered, unfolded, developed, and enjoyed. No matter how long you live, there will be something that is in you to find out about. How do you discover gifts? Try new things, do volunteer work, join organizations that are creating good. As you are active and engaged in life, gifts will come to light.
Active, engaged, serving lifestyle = Gift-discovery and development
*Your God-given personality is a blessing to be developed and appreciated.
God gave each person a personality (get it: person…personality). Wise people learn about themselves so that they can enhance the good parts and manage the weaknesses. The stronger people get in self-knowledge, the more they can be healthy. Do some personality exploration!
Personality exploration = self-knowledge and satisfaction

*You are loved by God.
Wise people learn to simply rest in this knowledge. There are many things in the world that are painful and unexplainable. In the midst of all that, emotionally healthy people can be helped by the knowledge there is a God who loves, IS love and loves you in particular.
God is love and loves you = Emotional rest
*You were made for connection with God, people, God’s creation.
People are not meant to be alone. We need several kinds of connection;
- Connection with God: start with an honest conversation, try listening and the connection of gratitude
- Connection with people: get involved with something
- Connection with God’s creation: God made it and said it was good. Don’t miss the emotional health that moments of awe inspires.
