Question-Week ending Sunday 01/25/04:
What best describes the effort you make to better understand your moods and emotional well being? Please read our Pre-Poll Commentary before taking this poll.
Pre-Poll Commentary:
Understanding our moods and emotions can play a significant role in our well being. Too often, we overlook the importance of positive words, influences, moods and emotions and accept the negative influences that abound us. After doing some research on moods and emotions for this poll series, I have screened out 30 key words out of a final list of 240 words that I compiled. Understanding and bringing these 30 key words to our consciousness can have a positive influence on how we think and act each and every day.
It's quite amazing that the other 200 plus words I researched, dealt with the negative emotions and moods that everyone struggles to avoid, but somehow can't quite do so. I hope that the few minutes it takes to participate in our poll series each week, can make a positive difference on how we think and react to the challenges we face each day.
This poll series will run for the next 30 weeks, as we discuss the significance of each of the words listed below.
I hope you take part and enjoy this entire series each week.

Post-Poll Commentary:
Our poll results this week suggest that more effort should be made to better understand our emotional well being. We discovered 37% of our respondents voted that they make no effort at all to better understand their emotional well being. Following with 22% were respondents who discuss their emotional well being with family members. It was encouraging that 17% of respondents did lots of reading and audio learning and 13% did some. In fifth place were 11% voting they have discussions with friends and no one seemed to seek any professional help with a score of 0%.
So what does all this mean? Is our emotional well being a priority in our life? Enough so that we should invest a little more time learning about positive moods and emotions?
During the coming weeks, we will be discussing all of the key words on our list above, in an effort to better understand the importance of moods and emotions. We will all try to learn together - in an effort to promote a healthier well being. Stay tuned for this enlightening poll series.
