I. Emotional and Mental Health
A. Psychological health encompasses both our emotional and our mental
states—that is, our feelings and our thoughts.
B. Emotional wellness generally refers to feelings and moods.
C. Characteristics of emotionally healthy persons, identified in an analysis of
major studies of emotional wellness, include the following:
1. Determination and effort to be healthy
2. Flexibility and adaptability to a variety of circumstances
3. Development of a sense of meaning and affirmation of life
4. An understanding that the self is not the center of the universe
5. Compassion for others
6. The ability to be unselfish in serving or relating to others
7. Increased depth and satisfaction in intimate relationships
8. A sense of control over the mind and body that enables the person to
make health-enhancing choices and decisions

of mental health include:

Chapter 2 – Psychological and Spiritual Well-Being

 1. The ability to function and carry out responsibilities
2. The ability to form relationships
3. Realistic perceptions of the motivations of others
4. Rational, logical thought processes
5. The ability to adapt to change and to cope with adversity
F. Culture helps to define psychological health. In our diverse society, many
cultural influences affect Americans’ sense of who they are, where they came
from, and what they believe.

II. The Lessons of Positive Psychology

Positive psychology is defined as “the scientific study of ordinary human strengths
and virtues.”
The three major areas of positive psychology are the study of positive emotions,
such as hope and trust; positive traits, such as wisdom and courage; and positive
institutions, such as strong families and democracy.
A. Develop Self-Compassion: a healthy form of self-acceptance and a way of
conceptualizing our favorable and unfavorable attitudes about ourselves and
others. Three components of self-compassion are:
1. Treating oneself kindly in the face of perceived inadequacy by engaging in
self-soothing and positive self-talk
2. Recognizing that such discomfort is an unavoidable part of the human
experience—this recognition of “common humanity” promotes a sense of
connection to others even in the face of isolation and disappointment
3. Facing painful thoughts without avoiding or exaggerating them and
managing disappointment and frustration by quelling self-pity and
melodrama
B. Boosting Emotional Intelligence: “EQ” (for emotional quotient) is the ability
to monitor and use emotions to guide thinking and actions.
C. Meet Your Needs. According to Maslow, human needs are the motivating
factors in personality development.
1. First, we must satisfy our basic physiological needs, such as those for
food, shelter, and sleep.
2. Only then can we pursue fulfillment of our higher needs—for safety and
security, love and affection, and self-esteem.
3. Few reach the state of self-actualization, in which one functions at the
highest possible level and derives the greatest possible satisfaction from
life.

Chapter 2 – Psychological and Spiritual Well-Being

 D. Boost Self-Esteem
1. Self-esteem is belief or pride in ourselves; it gives us confidence to dare to
attempt to achieve at school or work, and to reach out to others to form
friendships and close relationships.
2. Self-esteem is based on what you believe about yourself. It is not
something you are born with; it develops over time.
3. One of the most useful techniques for bolstering self-esteem and achieving
your goals is developing the habit of positive thinking and talking.
E. Pursue Happiness
1. Psychological research has identified three major factors that contribute to
a sense of well-being: your happiness set-point, life circumstances such as
income or marital status, and thoughts, behaviors, beliefs, and goal-based
activities.
2. The individuals most likely to benefit from a “happiness prescription” are
motivated to change, bring to bear effort and persistence, and engage in
activities that have been proven effective in increasing happiness.
3. Education, intelligence, gender, and race do not matter much for
happiness.
4. In surveys of college students, the happiest generally shared one
distinctive characteristic: a rich and fulfilling social life.

F. Become Optimistic which is “an inclination to anticipate the best possible

outcome.”
1. Optimists not only expect good outcomes, they take steps to increase this
likelihood.
G. Manage Your Moods
1. A mood is a more sustained emotional state that colors our view of the
world for hours or days.
2. The most effective way to banish a sad or bad mood is by changing what
caused it in the first place.
3. Exercise consistently ranks as the single most effective strategy for
banishing bad feelings.

III. Spiritual Health

Spiritual health refers to a breath of life and involves our ability to identify our
purpose in life and to experience the fulfillment of achieving our full potential.
Spirituality is a belief in what some call a higher power, in someone or something

Chapter 2 – Psychological and Spiritual Well-Being

that transcends the boundaries of self. Religiosity refers to various spiritual
practices.
A. Spirituality and Physical Health
1. A growing body of scientific evidence indicates that faith and spirituality
can enhance health—and perhaps even extend life.
2. Church attendance may account for an additional two to three years of
life.
3. Prayer and other religious experiences, including meditation, may
actually change the brain for the better.
B. Deepen Your Spiritual Intelligence
1. Spiritual intelligence is the capacity to sense, understand, and tap into the
highest parts of ourselves, others, and the world around us.
2. Spiritual intelligence, unlike spirituality, does not center on the worship of
an external God, but the discovery of wisdom within.
C. Clarify Your Values
1. Values are the criteria by which you evaluate things, people, events, and
yourself; they represent what’s most important to you.
2. When you confront a situation in which you must choose different paths
or behaviors, follow these steps:
a. Carefully consider the consequences of each choice.
b. Choose freely from among all of the options.
c. Publicly affirm your values by sharing them with others.
d. Act out your values.

D. Enrich Your Spiritual Life

1. Sit quietly.
2. Start small.
3. Step outside.
4. Use activity to tune into your spirit.
5. Ask questions of yourself.
6. Trust your spirit.
7. Develop a spiritual practice.
E. Consider the Power of Prayer
1. Prayer is the most commonly used form of complementary and
alternative medicine.
