How does emotional health affect well-being?
Health Education Health 100 Version 3 / Emotional Health
"Emotional well-being is related to the ability to manage feelings, cope with stress, and respond effectively to life. Low self-esteem, pessimism, excessive self-criticism, worry, and fixation on the past can increase emotional distress, while stronger emotional well-being can improve coping, self-esteem, performance, productivity, and longevity. Emotional health is connected to physical health and can affect energy, sleep, digestion, and disease risk."
