At EMG, we acknowledge mental health wellness as necessary for work-life balance. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC, 2023), “more than 1 in 5 US adults live with a mental illness.” What steps can you take to develop your personal and social development?
Personal Development: Self-awareness and Self-Management
It begins with you to understand what makes you tick. Authors Travis Bradberry & Jean Greaves’s body of work on Emotional Intelligence is foundational to the skill sets that we provide training. They state that discovering your personal development competence in self-awareness and self-management is essential to your fulfillment. EMG focuses on self-awareness, which is the ability to accurately perceive your own emotions in the moment and understand your tendencies across situations. Some emotions, such as happiness, fear, and anger, are more intense than others. The need to understand self-awareness is highly needed for growth, and this ties to mental health wellness.
Social Development: Social Awareness and Relationship Management
Mental health wellness may be a key part of social development with social awareness. According to Tony Robbins, one of our top human needs is connection. When our connection to others is compromised or tarnished, negative emotions can affect our mental state. It involves the adept ability to discern and comprehend the emotions exhibited by others, gaining insight into their true thoughts and feelings. This ability helps foster empathy and understanding in interpersonal relationships, contributing significantly to the overall mental well-being of individuals in any situation.
