Emotional balance is the result of the balance between the conative, attentional and cognitive balance. When we set realistic goals and commit ourselves to their achievement, we keep our expectations under control and focus on what really matters, emotional balance is a natural result of the balance between desires, thoughts and actions.

Emotional balance occurs when we allow ourselves to feel whatever comes up, without feeling stifled or overwhelmed, and learn to accept our feelings without judgment. Most people try to avoid emotional as well as physical pain. After all, who wants to be in pain? Our wishful thinking tells us that if we can just avoid the pain, it won’t affect us.
