Your Emotions

Your emotions have a great effect on your life, and it is important to keep your emotions under the right amount of control, so that they don't control you. So many people make themselves and those around them miserable because of anger, jealousy, worry, guilt and shame, yet these are all under your own control and can be overcome by a change in thinking. Grief is a painful emotion to overcome when we have lost someone we love, but there is a time and a way to let go and move on.

Emotional Health

Your emotional health may have a greater impact on your health than your nutritional health.  This was one conclusion from a worldwide survey of over 150,000 adults from more than 140 countries presented to the American Psychosomatic Society in March 2009 by the University of Kansas and Gallup . This survey included people from all income groups, and the results were found to hold true even with those lacking basic shelter and needs. The opposite is also true, negative emotions are a predictor of worse health.
