style
• Emotional health is an important part

of overall health. Emotionally healthy
people are in control of their thoughts,
feelings, and behaviors. They can
cope with life’s challenges. Emotions
are responses that generate
biochemical reactions in our bodies,
changing the physical state. 1010
There are many ways
to improve or
maintain good emotional health.
• Be aware of your emotions and
reactions. Notice what in your life makes
you sad, frustrated, or angry. Try to
address or change those things.
• Think before you act. Emotions can be
powerful. Give yourself time to think, and
be calm before you say or do something
you might regret. 1111

Manage stress.
Try to change
situations, causing you stress. Learn
relaxation methods to cope with
stress.
• Strive for balance. Find a healthy
balance between work and play and
between activity and rest. Make time
for things you enjoy. Focus on
positive things in your life. 1212

Take care of your
physical health.
Your physical health can affect your
emotional health. Exercise regularly,
eat healthy meals and get enough
sleep. Do not abuse drugs or
alcohol.
• Connect with others. We are social
creatures. We need positive
connections with other people. 1313

others, to connect, and
to feel the sense of
belongingness. 1414
SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT
• Social Development refers to how

people develop social and emotional
skills across the lifespan, with particular
attention to childhood and adolescence.
Healthy social development allows us
to form positive relationships with
family, friends, teachers, and other
people in our lives. 1515

individuality within a community, he/she

Cognitive
Click to edit Masterdevelopment
title style
• Refers to a person’s
intellectual abilities as
shown in his/her
thoughts, attitudes,
beliefs and values. 2323
COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT
• Cognitive development means how people

think, explore, and figure things out. It is the
development of knowledge, skills, problem-
solving, and dispositions, which helps a person
to think about and understand the world around
them. Brain development is part of cognitive
development. This aspect of the self is
enhanced when one attends school to study
and learn or engages in other mental 2424
endeavors.
COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT
• Mental abilities are developed by

engaging in intellectual pursuits such as
studies, work, and figuring out how best
to deal with challenges—thinking,
planning, organizing, evaluating, and
maximizing cognitive abilities. The more
we study, the more we learn; while the
more we learn, the more we can study 2525
Spiritual development
• It is discovering oneself beyond the

ego known as the soul, spirit, or the
“inner essence” that is often
disregarded or taken for granted. It is
experiencing a glimpse of the “inner
guide” of one’s beliefs and values in
discovering the meaning of life. 2626

Thoughts, Feelings, and Behavior
•To have this level of control, we need

to learn about the science-based
patterns behind our emotions and
thoughts and manage them. If we
know how our minds work, we can be
intentional about influencing our
thinking and feeling patterns. 2828
•Intuitively, our mind feels like a

cohesive whole. We perceive
ourselves as intentional and rational
thinkers.
2929
• The autopilot system corresponds to our emotions

and intuitions. Its cognitive processes take place
mainly in the amygdala and other parts of the
brain that developed early in evolution.
• This system guides our daily habits, helps us
make snap decisions, and reacts instantly to
dangerous life-and-death situations (such as
saber-toothed tigers) through the freeze, fight or
flight stress response. 3030
• We have many small stresses (and big stresses) that

are not life-threatening, but the autopilot system
treats them like tigers. This produces an
unnecessarily stressful everyday life experience that
undermines our mental and physical well-being.
• Moreover, while the snap judgments resulting from
intuitions and emotions might feel real because they
are fast and powerful, they sometimes lead us in the
wrong, in systemic and predictable ways.
3131
•The intentional system reflects our

rational thinking and centers around
the prefrontal cortex: the part of the
brain that evolved more recently.
•According to recent research, it
developed as humans started to live
within larger social groups. 3232
•This thinking system helps us handle

more complex mental activities, such
as managing individual and group
relationships, logical reasoning,
probabilistic thinking, and learning
new information and patterns of
thinking and behavior. 3333
•While the automatic system requires no

conscious effort to function, the intentional
system takes deliberate effort to turn on,
and it is mentally tiring. Fortunately, with
enough motivation and appropriate
training, the intentional system can turn on
when the autopilot system is prone to
make errors, especially costly ones. 3434

•Our personal development is not only

limited to the physical and intellectual
aspects. One must be aware that
human development involves holistic
development—physiologically,
emotionally, cognitively, socially, and
spiritually. 3737
