5th March 2019
That’s a very good question and one that we gets asked all of the time. Our answer to the question ‘what is emotional well being?’ is that it can be described as a positive mental attitude that allows people to reach their potential, overcome challenges and enjoy life.
Positivity comes and goes, no one feels on top of the world 100% of the time; we should embrace the variety of emotions we have and not be afraid to display them.
