Emotionally healthy people still experience a myriad of emotions such as stress, anger, fear and sadness however, they can generally regulate their emotions and process or express them in a healthy way.
There is not doubt, 2020 has been a huge year in different ways for everyone and if you are like most people, you’re doing your best to keep your head up, be positive and kind. Being kind to ourselves is equally important and is called self compassion. While this may sound fluffy – it isn’t and offers a scientifically proven way to help us shift our perspective. Self compassion involves accepting our situation as it is and ourselves as we are.
While connection with others including our nearest and dearest is vital, so to are boundaries.
