Definitions vary, but people usually want to be emotionally healthy, or moving in that direction. 

How about some tangible goals displaying emotional wellness? 

The emotionally well person is a self-starter who is inner-driven and internally-steered. She uses pre-established principles and boundaries to make decisions and is not usually externally steered by family, friends or fads. 

The healthy person is no blind follower and nor is he “flying by the seat of his pants.” Even at his most spontaneous, he is living his pre-established principles and goals. 

She loves her family but acts as a separate person when necessary and, when necessary, she is able to make unpopular decisions. 

He sometimes chooses to spend time alone, time to think, plan, read, write and pray. 

He is quick to forgive almost everything but learns to modify or manage trust. He understands that forgiving doesn’t necessarily mean forgetting although there are times and circumstances when it does.

Emotionally well people are able to “hold onto themselves” under pressure and do not lash out or blame others when things go awry. 

Emotionally well people are comfortable with their status in life and thus able to impart calmness and comfort to those who appear to be on a constant treadmill in pursuit of wealth, success, or recognition.

“Living from within” can appear as arrogance to those who are tossed and turned by trends and fashions.
