Emotional health is an important part of overall health. People who are emotionally healthy are in control of their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. They’re able to cope with life's challenges. They can keep problems in perspective and bounce back from setbacks. They feel good about themselves and have good relationships.

We are in the digital age where we tend to trust machines more than human beings. Today, people who are emotional are being called names such as over emotional, too gullible, or cry-babies. However, we are forgetting that humans are the smartest living beings on earth. The greatest edge we have over most other living beings is that we have emotions. The key lies in our ability to recognize those emotions and be mindful of how the emotions are governing our decisions.  Emotional intelligence is exactly that!

Sensitivity is a word which is rarely used in a positive sense. Especially in our country being sensitive is often misinterpreted as being emotionally weak or incapable of handling a situation strongly. We might have often seen situations where if a person talks about his or her emotions, most of the people around would ridicule the person saying “Hey! These problems are so tiny and can be ignored easily. You are just overthinking.”. Well, this may be the case sometimes. But not always. Do you know that lack of emotional support from society is worsening mental health issues in India?
