Emotional fitness critical to your general well-being
Emotional fitness is the least regarded aspect of our health, yet contributes greatly to our well-being. Until recently, there has been no simple way to assess your emotional fitness. The difference between your two total scores is the balance you have between your satisfaction and frustration levels. To be emotionally fit, your total values would be between 60 to 80 for satisfaction and 20 to 40 for frustration. Freelance material.

Emotional fitness critical element in general health
The senses will have become attuned to whatever it is that causes that trigger. For example, if you are feeling happy, you are more likely to notice a bird singing. If you feel down, you'll notice a comment that seems to be a criticism of you. In each case you'll act accordingly, smiling at the bird song or snapping at the remark. It is all a matter of balance between our satisfactions and frustrations, said [Eugene Heimler], who taught in Europe where he established the Heimler Institute, and in Calgary where he held the chair of Human Social Functioning at the University of Calgary for 15 years. Note that it doesn't mean you are emotionally healthy if you have no frustration at all. We all need some frustration to keep us motivated, yet not so much that we feel overwhelmed. In fact, our frustration is the source of our potential creative energy, our drive to live life to the fullest, which we can do when there is also enough satisfaction.

How emotionally fit are you?: Emotional fitness is a critical factor in general health

Body-and-soul workout: What good are buns of steel and abs of iron if your mind is mush, your life is the pits and you don't see the point of living?
Back in ancient Greece, it was known that to be fully healthy we needed to attend to our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual selves. Now, 3,000 or so years later, we tend to have forgotten, or rather ignored the emotional aspect of our fitness. An earlier psychotherapist, Dr. Eugene Heimler, also taught that we need a healthy balance between our satisfactions and frustrations. Heimler, a survivor of concentration camps, later began to understand how he had remained alive and later still, taught at the University of Calgary how we can now survive more successfully in society - by taking care of our emotional health. [Daniel Goleman]'s book is based on several years' research that showed how little emotional intelligence there is around, simply because we tend to value mental intelligence so much more. Heimler showed that where we are not emotionally healthy we do not function well in any areas of our lives.

Key questions asked over and over Series: Emotional Fitness
Listening really begins when you set a kind of contract so that both of you understand and agree what is wanted. And if you want people to listen to you, you need to listen to them. Making it a two- way contract works the best. If you can't find anyone in your circle who seems able to do this, make an appointment to see a counsellor whose job, and skill, is to listen to you so that you get to hear yourself. It's no coincidence that the same kind of things happen to you. We all get into patterns of behaviour based on our earliest experiences. One of the problems with our education system is that nobody teaches us to learn from our emotional responses to situations. The first part of changing any behaviour that doesn't work for you is to be conscious of it. So watch out for your responses and then, probably later on when you have calmed down a little, take some time to check how you were feeling. Think who the other person may really be representing to you. Maybe the boss represents an over- authoritarian parent to your emotional inner child. Perhaps your spouse is acting like the elementary grade school teacher that you admired but could never please.

Lifescale system helps you test your emotional health: In today's fast-paced society, it's important to remember to take care of your emotional health, along with your physical health. This is the second in a four-part series to help you get more emotionally fit for the fall. Series: Fit for the Fall
He used a complicated scale to measure people's emotional balance. Here's my quick and simple version, called the Lifescale. So, if you have around 70 for satisfactions and 30 for frustrations, you are in a pretty good state of emotional health. If you have more frustration than satisfaction, you are not as healthy as you could be and probably need some support. The real impact of the Lifescale is in the meanings you give to each of your own scores. If you have a score that seems too small or too much for your own emotional comfort, that is where you can begin to change things.
