Crying is the quickest way to release stress and emotions from your body! Over all the other options on this list, crying is the most powerful!
“Having a GOOD CRY” has been something all cultures talk about to let go of emotional tension. It’s powerful and gets right to the tension and/or pain.
Sometimes this type of crying comes on without warning, and can surprise you, but try NOT TO STOP IT.
Having stopped this in the past is possibly why you have deeply stuffed tension in the first place. Notice the embarrassment, or the fear associated with this display, and where your body tightens up. Is it your throat? Or your chest?
Having a pattern of holding emotions back, with even years in between, can have an intense and negative effect on your body!
Not only can this pattern stop you from crying, but it can also stop ANY emotion, ANY feelings of pain, until you are not easy to be with, even with yourself. But, you survived. And that, my friend, was amazing at one point in your life, and kept you alive and is deserving of some kudos.
But that was then.
Now, it’s time to finally heal. Find the space, the safety and the time to belly cry and let it go.
If you want to let go of stress, emotional pain, grief, anxiety and tension in your body, crying the is BEST way.
