DIVERSIFYING YOUR EMOTIONAL PORTFOLIO

摘要

Watching a television show on the difficulty some athletes face in their retirement from professional sports, I saw a psychologist discuss "emotional portfolios." The unique term made me sit up. The description in the following minutes made me act. An emotional portfolio is a group of activities bringing you feelings of happiness and a sense of worth. It's important when a major event takes place in your life-like retirement from your job-to ensure you have a diversified emotional portfolio. The void created by the sudden loss of one of the major items can then be taken up by the others in your portfolio-so you sustain your happiness.
