Low levels of emotional fitness costs us in all areas of our life
In our experience, poor emotional fitness means you don’t properly take care of yourself, those you care about or the environment.
Low levels of emotional fitness, in other words an inability to manage our increasing stress levels, chronic anxiety, deepening depression and other mental health issues costs us in all areas of our life.
- It costs us in our relationships and our communities,
- It costs us in our health,
- It costs us in our ability to learn and study,
- It costs us in our ability to earn money,
- It costs businesses because employees are not present, productive or engaged.
We have seen first hand that being emotionally fit leads to improved physical, psychological and relational health and will transform the experience of your life.
