What Is Good Emotional Health?

Ida, thanks so much for this piece, I whole heartedly agree with you, and I even borrowed a quote from you to add to my scrapbook of inspiration, "It is your consistent daily actions, not what you do once in a while, that determines how you can create a compelling future" I can identify with that because I, like everyone else go through periods of time that everythign seems so blah; I feel disconnected from everyone I know and lonely and the days seem to blur together and have no meaning. I know there are things I can do to combat this feeling and appreicate my life more and be more connected to others, and more happy, but for some reason I get in a rut and can't break the cycle for a while until I get totally sick of feeling that way and decide its time for a change. I tell my boyfriend that I find it exhausting that I constantly have to strive to put effort into my days to make them good days but if thats what it takes to be happy then I will try to keep on keepin on, every day.
