Hi there I'm Leah of Leah Benson Therapy. And today I want to talk to you about
emotional fitness. We'll look to physical fitness to understand what emotional
fitness is. So, if we look at physical fitness, what is physical fitness?
Physical fitness is strength, flexibility, and agility. Strength to be able to pick
something up. Strength to be able to walk up stairs. So, flexibility is the ability to
get up off of the floor without using your hands. It is
the ability to get in and out of a car. And lastly agility; the ability to move
quickly and easily. So, let's transfer that to emotional fitness. There's really
no difference. Emotional fitness has components of strength, flexibility, and
agility. The strength to handle emotional situations without collapsing or
exploding or dissociating from them. The flexibility to muster up the
emotional fortitude to handle a confrontation, or protect yourself or
your loved ones, or to be tender and contactful with someone who it needs. To
be connected with a child for instance who needs to feel empathy. And the ability
to move from one of those situations to another without too much difficulty.
Being able to transition between these different emotional states; that's
flexibility. And then, agility, emotional agility, is the
ability to deal with an aggressive client on one hand, then
come home and deal with your needy child on the other. You want to be able to do
that easily. And if you can't do it easily, to use tools to throw
off that emotional weight that's on you from one particular situation or
another. So, strength, flexibility, and agility, emotionally, are the
foundational components of emotional fitness. If you would like to improve
your emotional fitness, feel free to contact me or visit my web page about
