Healthy Lifestyle With balanced emotions

You see, to have a healthy lifestyle we need to have balanced emotions and good mental health. If we live in constant anxiety we focus too much energy on problems and possible solutions. For example, if we're having marriage difficulties we tend to worry not only about the unhappy state of affairs, but also about the consequences.

And this can lead to even more nervousness and anxiety - leading in turn to anti-social habits such as:

* heavy drinking or smoking

* abuse of drugs

* over-reactions

* poor concentration

* and a deterioration in our relationships with family, friends, co-workers and neighbors.

When prolonged this state of affairs can lead to depression and serious mental ill-health. At that point prescribed medication may be the only answer. But why let it get to that point? You can combat stress and find many forms of natural anxiety relief by taking your emotions and lifestyle in control.
