Elaborating on the definition of emotional
fitness, Brahma Kumari (BK) Sister Shivani said, “To be
emotionally fit, one needs to be emotionally independent. This means, if there
is a crisis outside, can you be calm inside. Somebody can be rude or angry to
you, be shouting at you, can you still be stable and respond with dignity. This
is called emotional fitness, where you are not affected by the energy of the
situations and people and have the strength to choose your response.”
She further explained how emotional fitness can be
effectively practiced in our day to day lives by making a few conscious
decisions focusing on filtration of content being consumed, designing a healthy
emotional diet and practicing lifestyle discipline.
She then went on to highlight the importance of
practicing daily positive mental affirmations to help us get through a time of
uncertainty. “We have created low vibration thoughts for our jobs and business
and that has started manifesting. We can change that by choosing high vibration
thoughts through affirmations like ‘I am a powerful being, I am a peaceful
being, I am a fearless being, My body is perfect and healthy and will always
be, I am protected by divine energy circle and so is my family, same circle
exists for my workplace, success is certain for me, abundance is my reality,
2020 is a year of miracle for my organization and a circle of protection for
the planet’. Create affirmations of what you want to see and make it a reality.
Practicing just 20 minutes of healthy emotional diet can do wonders.”

practicing healthy emotional lifestyle like disconnecting from work related
activities 2 hours before bed, signing out of social media platforms 1 hour
before bed, denoting 10 minutes to journaling before bed so as not take
negative thoughts and grudges to sleep and practicing affirmations right before
sleep so that the positive high thought vibrations are carried through the
sleep time.
