Skillful 2 - Listening - Unit 1: Emotional Nourishment
In other words, I mean that we feel emotionally nourished if we get love, help, support, or
appreciation, but I also think we feel nourished if we give love, help, support, or appreciation to
others. To illustrate, let me give you an example. My daughter volunteers at the hospital. Her job
is simple, sit with patients who have no visitors. She is paid nothing, yet always comes home
happy. She feels just as good, if not better, about having given happiness as she does when
receiving happiness. Emotional nourishment feels good. How does it work for emotions? Well,
positive feelings nourish our emotional health. As we do good things, and feel good about
ourselves, our bodies release chemicals called endorphins, and dopamine. These are the ”feel
good” chemicals that provide us with a sense of well-being, but they also play a role in reducing
stress. The better we feel, the stronger we are mentally, and physically. Research has shown that
happier people are generally healthier, and less likely to suffer from minor infections like the
common cold.
In general, helping others is a good strategy for better health. However, we can’t force someone
to help us and you never know if you’re going to see someone who needs help. There are things I
recommend you do to control emotional nourishment. For example, you can participate in an
activity that relaxes you or that you find meaningful. You could get a pet. Pets need you, and
they need your emotional involvement. Having a pet allows you to give another living thing
positive emotions. And the companionship a pet offers should give you emotional nourishment,
too. It is worth noting that emotional nourishment is temporary though You may feel good
donating to a charity, but over time the feeling will diminish. The key to emotional health is
feeding yourself just as you would by consuming food to physically nourish yourself. The right
kind of emotional nourishment, on a regular basis will help you feel stronger.
