Are you happy, healthy and comfortable? If yes, congratulations! You have wellbeing. Stress levels are increasing and those with Emotional Intelligence may have an advantage in achieving and sustaining well being. The challenge is that many have learned that emotional connection is a bad thing or others run away and don't process them.

Get connected to your emotions and in doing so, watch the heart based connections, grow.
