#63 Ben Mumme: 10 Effective Ways To Improve Your Emotional Wellness

Ben Mumme is the founder, curator, and podcast host of the Living Your Greatness Podcast. The purpose of the podcast is to inspire millions of people across the world to achieve greatness and enhance their overall personal well-being.

Living Your Greatness is becoming the go-to resource that CEOs, elite athletes, professional coaches, and entrepreneurs rely on to upgrade themselves. The podcast helps you master the best of what other people have already figured out.

Ben starts off the episode by defining what is emotional wellness. He explains that it involves expressing your feelings, adjusting to challenges, coping with the stress that life brings, and enjoying your life. It includes knowing our strengths as well as what we want to get better at, and living and working on our own but letting others help us from time to time. Emotional wellness includes both emotional intelligence and emotional regulation. The construct of emotional well-being lies within the broader understanding of mental health. The lack of emotions does not equal emotional health, just as the lack of mental illness does not equal mental health. Someone suppressing emotions, especially from childhood, may not be as emotionally healthy as someone vulnerable enough to express their emotions.

Ben discusses why emotional wellness is so important. When we are emotionally well, we are better able to enjoy our life and the people in it. We can love, express ourselves creatively, learn new things without fear and test our limits. We are better equipped to cope with difficulties, disappointments, sadness and stress, secure in the knowledge that, in time, we will be able to enjoy our lives once again. Emotional wellness matters, to all ages, everywhere.
