Emotional Wellbeing

What it's all about: Coping well and creating positive relationships by being aware and accepting of your own emotions and the emotions of others

Some questions to ask yourself to gauge your Emotional Wellbeing:

• Am I able to appropriately label or name my feelings?
• Am I able to appropriately express my feelings?
• Am I able to appropriately manage my feelings?
• Do I consider myself to be positive (most of the time)?
• Do I use relaxation techniques to manage stress?
• Do I feel that I am able to cope with my daily stress?
• Do I function independently, but know when I need to ask for help?
• Do I take responsibility for my own behavior?

Here are a few suggestions and resources:

• Schedule an appointment with one of the SCC Counseling Faculty members if you are feeling stressed or overwhelmed.
