EMOTIONAL HYGIENE
Emotional hygiene is the set of activities that we can carry out to feel in balance with our feelings, with the people and the environment that surrounds us. When we are satisfied with our feelings, when we accept and respect those of those around us, we enjoy good mental health
All human beings feel emotions because it is something natural of our origin, and nobody can get rid of them, but that does not mean that they dominate our entire lives, because if we must learn to manage our emotions since they are essential for our mental health, no We can allow emotions to be the ones that direct our lives, because certainly if we do not control our emotions, we lose our balance and they will end up with us.
An emotion is a feeling that arises when the person reacts subjectively to the environment, thus generating an affective state that is accompanied by physical changes since emotions can cause physiological reactions.
Emotions play an important role in our character, which is why just as we need to cleanse our body, we also need to cleanse our soul in order to keep our emotions in the right place. How will we do it? through Jesus Christ the only savior and author of our life, the only one capable of giving us inner peace
Philippians 4: 7
And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
(RVR1960)
When we trust in God, we pray and believe his promises because prayer and peace are intimately linked, whoever trusts in the care of Christ instead of tormenting himself and drowning with his problems will experience that the peace of God frees him from overwhelm and stress. anxiety and God will keep our hearts and our mind from the negative effect of emotions, also keeping our character
Let's take care of our health through good hygiene, keeping our hearts on the things above that are what build up, since the things of the flesh are of no use at all.
Psalm 139: 23
Search me, O God, and know my heart; Try me and know my concerns.
(RVR1960)
All our emotions and concerns are known to God, he knows everything about us and takes pity on all our concerns and limitations to keep us from everything that wants to harm us But when we trust Him and put all our burdens in His presence
Proverbs 3: 5-6
Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and don't lean on your own understanding. He acknowledges him in all your ways, and he He he will make your paths straight.
(RVR1960)
Leaning on and recognizing God is the greatest decision we can make in the course of life, since being fully aware of the presence of God in our thoughts will ensure victory to be able to battle with those emotions that are inevitable and that suggest ending our health when we let ourselves be controlled by them
Balancing emotions also leads us to maintain good hygiene since it is with the word of God that we can face this situation that is currently affecting society in an alarming way, ending people's lives and dreams.
