Socialising and building strong connection with others can help promote emotional balance. When we're with friends, the burden and stress on our head will be lessen because this group of people provide emotional support and fun to be with. To promote emotional balance, we should have some good sleep. I know it may be difficult to do this because of the ups and downs world we're living in. Despite this, health is very crucial and to enhance mental health, sleep is very important.
