Mental Health: Emotional Wellness, Healthy Relationships & Productivity - Mini Session #3 (VIRTUAL)

I was not expecting to get a reality check during this event, but I am glad I did. It made me realized that my mental health may not have been as healthy as I thought. I used to be one of those people who thought that therapy was too much but now I can see how therapy can help. To paraphrase the host, you go to a professional to heal broken bones, why not the same for your mental health.

I found our speaker to be so realistic and engaging I appreciated the insights from my peers. I liked how she discussed stress and how how sometimes we become disoriented with schoolwork.

Not only did I learn how to recognize whether I’m in a state of emotional wellness, but also how to notice it in others.

I learned about the negative affects of not having good emotional wellness. The affects that mostly impact me are increased absenteeism and decreased focus and decision-making abilities. I'll try to use what I've learned about emotional wellness to fix these problems.

In this presentation, we learned about what it means to have a healthy relationship. We talked about emotional wellness and how it impacts productivity and talked about how a lack of emotional wellness can lead to various negative effects. The presenter showed us different example scenarios where we had to choose what negative effect they were experiencing. We learned about unhealthy relationships and how they can also impact emotional wellness by causing increased stress and anxiety, low self esteem and confidence, emotional exhaustion and burn out, etc. Overall I learned that emotional wellness impact productivity by improving your focus, reducing stress, boosting motivation, bettering workplace relationships, and promoting work-life balance.

In this meeting, I learned one way to help myself which is to surrender myself with positivity because if negativity is around me then I can not be better for myself or have any motivation or believe in myself to be emotionally better. I also learned lack of emotional wellness can use a negative impact on how I show up like if I let something or even someone get into my mind, it can effect how am at work or even in college.

The event was great, it gave me a clear understanding to sensitive topics, that worried me and it was great because the host made it more fun and gaining for everyone else in the zoom. Great event.
