Being mentally healthy, includes having healthy relationships with other people in various aspects of life such as work, school, home, friends etc. The point being that WE NEED OTHER PEOPLE! it has been found that solitary confinement is the worst kind of punishment to give a human being. Imagine never seeing or talking to another human for the rest of your life?

I am sure some of you are thinking that would be amazing! Well yes, because sometimes we just need to get away from people, But I guarantee after a few days you will begin to go crazy talking to yourself and all.

This week your challenge is to practice,improve and show empathy towards other people.

Our emotions are directly affected by our beliefs about a situation. As humans we have many thought processes that are not always correct. 

Do not get me wrong, in no way should you ever apologize for the way you feel, even if it comes from a misunderstanding. But incorrect beliefs can result in Emotionally fueled outbursts that you may have to apologize for.

This week I challenge you to take a step back, and consider what you believe, challenge those beliefs and then take it from there.

This week we have a look at how unmet needs have a direct impact on our emotional health. When it comes to unmet needs, the only way to get them met is to ask for them.

We all have a tendency to expect that other people know what we need from them. Today I encourage you to change that mind set and start to take responsibility over asking for what you need. Many of our constant negative emotions that arise due to specific situations is a result of these unmet needs. 

your challenge this week is to find the underlying needs to your constant negative emotions in specific situation.
