Five ways to check your emotional fitness progress<\/p>\n

\"Lisa<\/a><\/p>\n

Physical fitness is important, but so is your emotional fitness. Sacramento emotional fitness coach, Gary Dumas, joined us on the KCRA 3 news to give us a check-up.<\/p>\n

Emotional fitness, which involves self-awareness, awareness of others, and awareness of context, can be measured by evaluating your progress in key practices.<\/p>\n

You’re doing exceptionally well in emotional fitness if you exhibit one to five of the following:<\/p>\n

You pause before reacting, ensuring emotions don’t immediately control your words or actions.You can name what you’re feeling, recognizing specific emotions like disappointment, jealousy, or frustration instead of generalizing them as being upset.You recover from difficult emotions faster, processing stress, anger, or sadness and moving forward effectively.You don’t take every feeling as a fact, understanding that emotions like rejection don’t always reflect reality.You communicate your emotions more clearly, expressing what you feel and need without shutting down, exploding, or expecting others to guess.<\/p>\n

“Real emotional growth isn’t never getting emotional\u2014it’s getting better at what you do with your emotion,” Dumas emphasized.<\/p>\n
