# Emotional Wellness

Emotional Wellness centers on thoughts, feelings, and being able to have a positive outlook on life. Another critical aspect of Emotional Wellness is to express and process emotions in a healthy way. When negative emotions arise, it is important that you have an outlet to express them in a safe way. This can include:

- Talking to friends and family
- Journaling – consider starting a gratitude journal

- Listening to music
- Counselling – [Personal Counselling and Accessible Learning Services](https://students.senecapolytechnic.ca/spaces/122/personal-counselling-and-accessible-learning-services/home)
- Exercising – [Athletics & Recreation](https://students.senecapolytechnic.ca/spaces/107/athletics-recreation/home)
- Self-care
- Developing Help-Seeking Behaviours in Dimensions of Wellness

Being optimistic can be difficult during hard times, engaging in conversation or a favorite activity can reverse those feelings and bring you back to a regular state of emotional wellness.
