-Through out this break i have been paying attention to my emotional health. What ive noticed about my own emotional health is that if im sitting at home doing nothing my emotional health isnt good because im bored. Im the type of person that always likes to be doing something because it makes me happy, to be interacting with people or doing something constructive, cleaning, cooking, going out and having fun.

A point in my break when i felt emotionally healthiest was at night because i knew that i didnt have to go to school the next day so i could stay out as late as i wanted to. The least healthiest would be when i woke up in the morrning becuase ive been sick all spring break so i really felt it when i woke up.

if it wasent spring break and we were in school i would proably feel emotionally healthiest at lunch because its a rest for my mind and i get to eat and interact with people that i like. least emotioanlly healthiest would be any point in the day that isnt lunch because im tired from getting up so early.

In my everyday life things that effect my emmotional health are people, school, the weather, how my body is reacting to all this (if im sick)things in my house like the TV and my X-Box. if one of those breaks i wouldnt be emotinally happy anymore.

Thing things in do to maintain my emotional happiness is makin sure i always have my ipod in the morning so that i have something to listen to when i walk to school, it relaxes me. my sidekick, because when i feel like im not able to keep in contact with people it makes me really mad. So when teachers take it away from me i get angry because there taking away my source of contact and it makes my emotional health not good because im angry. Also buying stuff that makes me happy like food i like for lunch, going shopping, watch my favorite shows.

The type of phycology i chose was "humanistic Phycology" and from what i read i have the idea that it means a persons behavior has to do with there emotional health and i do agree with that on some level. because i can be very angry but i might not show it.
