1. First of all, you have to understand your emotions

We must analyze our actions, take a few minutes of the day to know what is happening to us, how we feel and why we feel this way, I know that many times we act impulsively, for example, at home, maybe we come stressed from work and answer a question in a bad way and later we realize that there was no reason to act this way.

Then the best thing we can do is to analyze ourselves every day and see what we did, what we are proud of and what we didn't do, and then not make the same mistakes.

2. Physical exercise

Besides helping us to be in shape, exercise is beneficial for our emotional health, it does not help to release tensions, stress, distract the mind, while we exercise we release certain substances in our brain that give us energy, encouragement, make us be happy, therefore our mood will improve.

3. Knowing how to channel criticism

Many times we are very attentive to what others say about us, we take very seriously the criticisms that are made of us, particularly I have noticed that many people cannot see happiness in others, so they are determined to give negative comments.

Now, the important thing is how we react to that, being sure of ourselves and knowing who we are and what we can do is the beginning of good emotional health.

4. Accepting us as we are

Many times we act defensively because we believe that others are wrong, certainly we should not listen to bad criticism, but if we must accept when someone wants to give us a constructive criticism for example, we all make mistakes and we can be wrong, neither the idea is to believe us gods.

5. Being a positive person

We must be optimistic before life, thinking in negative will not bring us anything good, on the contrary, it can affect us psychologically, for example creating many anxieties, for that reason we must seek the positive side to things and situations so are not the best.

6.Thinking before you speak

Many times we say things and then we regret it, because? because we let ourselves be carried away by emotions, whenever we find ourselves in those moments the best thing is to take a deep breath and analyze the situation well or simply walk away and leave the conversation for another moment.
