emotional poise - what is it?

[f00die]

Hello Jeff,
Thanks for all you do
in reading about mark huberman and health advocacy (from the go nuts? link)
i came across the term emotional poise
ive seen it elsewhere as well
could you please elaborate on what is referred to by this term?
or share some links to some credible resources?
thanks

If you search the forums, you will see i have used the term often.

It was a term used by the Natural Hygiene movement. I have understood it to mean "emotional balance, composure and self-confidence."

From my perceptive it is very similar in meaning to equanimity, which as been defined as "mental calmness, composure, and evenness of temper, especially in a difficult situation."

emotional poise search results
it reminds me of dr ornish's programs meditation and social support components
would you say that the two are referring to the same thing?
cultivating emotional balance of sorts?
thx
