Do you know that teen`s positive mental health (mental well-being:, emotional well-being, social well-being and psychological well-being) level can influence their future success in multiple domains of life?
It has been long been a well known fact that in order to function optimally as a human being in life, it is best to exist without any mental disorder or mental illness. But recent research has shown that having no mental disorder does not guarantee that an individual has good mental well-being
Posession of good mental well-being in turn is characterized by different dimensions. Key ones among these dimensions are emotional well being, social well-being and psychological well being.
One of the benefits of emotional well-being is that individuals who exist at high levels of emotional well-being have been found to be high in the ability to make decisions that are most optimized for a given situation. People’s emotional states influence not only the way they make decisions, but also the quality of decisions they make. For instance, when a person is in a very low mood or Anxiou. There is a higher likelihood of making decisions that are not well thought through. This is owing to the fact that the poor emotional well-being makes individual make decisions that provide them with instant comfort and escape from the unpalatable experience or situation without considering the implications or long-term impact of such a decision.
It is however important that positive emotions are sought in healthy ways.
