I heard this phrase, "when you look good, you'll feel good, when you feel good, you'll look good." I can agree with this statement. To find out more, read my about me section. I've discovered that it wouldn't be productive if we only fix the outside and the inside is broken. It certainly wouldn't be beneficial to have the inside together and look a mess on the outside.
That is the reason for this blog. Usually, you'd be getting advice on how to take care of your hair or tips on the latest product. But after being enlightened to the importance of emotional health, I had to address the issue.
We first must understand what emotional health is and how it is vital to our overall health. It is vital to digest this information before we move forward with the wonderful things I have in store for you. Let's work on the inside as well as the outside.

As you can see, it is very important that we take care of our emotions in order to optimize our lives. Having a positive outlook can help reduce stress and increase our chances for success.
There are six components of health. The are listed as:
- Physical

- Mental/Intellectual
Emotional health is expressing your emotions in a positive nondestructive way.
Many components of health can be affected by other components. If one is weak, it can affect the overall health. Wellness is the achievement of a person's best in all six components of health.
Emotional healthy people are:
- In control of their emotions.
- Able to handle life's challenges.
- Build strong relationships.
- Put effort into building and maintaining mental and emotional health.
- Enjoy life.
People with healthy emotions tend to have a zest for life, are balanced, and have a sense of meaning and purpose.
I created Hairmojis with the idea that there is a mind-body connection. I chose hair as the tool to teach this idea with. In my research, I found that:
- Taking care of your body is a powerful first step towards emotional health.
- When you improve your emotional health, you automatically experience greater emotional well-being.
