A few weeks ago, I started a series on Emotional Satisfaction and I promised to talk about the importance of Emotional satisfaction and some simple life hacks on how to navigate our emotions, even though I’ve had to divert a little bit for about two weeks now… But I’m back on the topic again…

Having established the fact that ;

– You need to be emotionally whole to connect to someone or be able to be satisfied emotionally.
– No human has the sole responsibility to satisfy you 100%.
– Our upbringing has a huge role to play on how we receive and respond to emotions.
– To be emotionally healthy, you have to be able to accept and respond to emotion.
– If the ability to trust is solidly formed during our early childhood years, it will help us enjoy a strong marriage later on.

Let’s talk about the importance of Emotional satisfaction.

– It enhances mental well-being.
– Increases resilience and stress management.
– Fosters positivity in relationships.
– Encourages personal growth and development.
– Contributes to overall life satisfaction.
– Makes one feel loved, appreciated and validated.

I’ve come to realise that the one mistake women make is depending solely on their partner for emotional satisfaction when there are different ways you can cultivate emotional satisfaction.
This is something I’ve experienced and currently practicing so I strongly believe that sharing it will definitely help someone.
And I’m not saying your partner doesn’t have a role to play in your emotional satisfaction, of course they do, a huge role at that but then if you are still struggling with this aspect of your marriage or relationship, you really need to do things differently. Trust me, it’s not your partner you need to focus on but yourself.

Another mistake women make is trying to get that attention they crave for from another person, starting friendships that they do not have any business being involved in and then creating more problems for themselves 🤷🏽‍♀️.
The truth is that, true satisfaction comes from YOU! This heart is very fragile and we need to learn how to control our emotions.

Instead of looking for a way out or a quick fix, start by…

– Identifying and pursuing activities that bring joy and fulfilment. DO NOT BE IDLE!!!
– Personal growth and achievement.
– Foster a sense of purpose and meaning.

See eh, there’s something about fulfilling purpose that brings you absolute satisfaction. What’s that one thing that when you do, you feel light, happy with yourself and content. There in lies your purpose.

Still struggling about what to do to stop feeling unsatisfied?

Read books if you have to, learn a skill, find a job, go back to school if you must! Focus on raising your children.

Stop nagging your partner about attention and emotional satisfaction. Gone are the days! Practice self care my darling.

And lastly as I draw the series to a close… True happiness comes from God. Build your relationship with God: this is the most important aspect of cultivating emotional satisfaction… Learn to worship, learn to serve!
As a matter of fact, He’s the only one that you can solely depend on and is sure to draw a 100% satisfaction from and He will always leave you feeling understood and validated.

When Emotional Satisfaction is prioritized, it enhances your overall well-being and quality of life. So do not take your emotional health for granted.

I hope you learnt a thing or two from this series.
