| Text Based NOTES All notes typed by Mr. Corabi based on his in class teaching minus any stories or jokes Review: me vs myself = internal conflict and include dealing with one's emotions/feelings, stress and self concept Mental and Emotional Health = includes expressions, personality, self concept, self esteem Emotions are part of every person. In Star Trek, the Vulcans were famous for suppressing their emotions or keeping them help inside. This isn't always a good idea. Our emotions cause feelings which are temporary but powerful. Feelings are expressed whether we want them to or not. Sometimes, people express feelings in positive ways while other times, they are expressed negatively. It is important to express feelings in a positive, healthy way because if they are not, they will eventually cause us or someone else harm. Suggestions on how to express feelings in a healthy way vary based on the feeling. Sometimes, you may need to cry..other times, writing about it, talking to someone or doing something enjoyable can help. It all depends... Our personality is by definition who we are. It is defined by our genetics from birth, our cultural, religious and family influences and the environment in which we live including our peer groups. Someone's personality also helps to define their learning styles...some people learn by seeing/reading..some learn by hearing/writing while still others learn from doing and experimenting. Along with personality, comes the terms self concept and self esteem... Self concept = how one looks at themselves which may or may not be different than someone else looks at you. Self Esteem = how high or low one looks at themselves A person with a positive/healthy self concept recognizes their strengths and weaknesses, their learning styles, and their goals in life (short term at least if not long term). A person with a healthy self esteem knows what their limitations are and makes learns to love who they are. Conversely, a person with a poor self concept thinks bad about themselves, A person with a low self esteem may become depressed, and a person with a self esteem too high, will push others away. Not being able to positively express one's self, low self esteem and poor self concept and all lead to depression or worse! It is important to seek help if you are suffering. Anger and Anger Control See mental and emotional health sub-section on emotions/feelings and expressions When Angry at someone, it is important to respond rather than React. Wait 10 seconds before saying something back...take a deep breath...walk away and give yourself a time out. When we react, we often make a situation worse and say things harmful we shouldn't have said Stress and Stress Management Stress = the body's reaction to change specifically, change it does not expect, does not want or feels threatened by Eustress = positive stress Distress = negative stress. All stress can be negative if we don't know how to handle it. For example, a wedding is a wonderful, beautiful time for husband and wife and all the bridal party, families and friends. It is however a very stressful time. If wedding planning is done 1 thing at a time in a realistic goal with shared responsibilities, it will stay positive. If the wife is doing everything herself and things start going wrong..it's negative. Stress ends up effecting all areas of PISES and can lead to heart disease, muscle tension, confusion, loss of sleep, depression, isolation from friends, poor grades and bad decisions. When a person is effected by a stressor (something that causes stress), which is different for everyone, their body reacts the fight or flight response. Heart rate increases, breathing rate increases, digestive system slows down, and the body prepares itself as if it was a real fight. This is because of primitive animal instincts within all animals. Stress management techniques such as creating lists of things to do, deep breathing, making "me time", goal setting, object manipulation, exercise and many others, can be helpful in assisting someone in managing stress Eating Disorders Eating disorders are extreme eating behaviors that can lead to serious illness or even death.
