![]() ![]() If you feel stuck on how to do this, it happens to be one of my specialties. I’ve spent most of my life learning new and ancient tools for releasing big emotions. Emotions only lessen their grip when we process and release them. There is incredible freedom on the other side of pain. The thing is, we have so much practice keeping it all in, no one has taught us how to emotionally release. We are slowly learning to accept the deep well of emotion that lives inside us all. ![]() ![]() Yet, our Western version of the normal range of human emotion is excruciatingly narrow and hasn’t changed much over the decades, carrying with it many paternalistic and oppressive ideologies. Many of us are deemed ‘broken’ or ‘ill’ if we can’t at least pretend to be normal. Watching or reading funny things a film, a book or the TV really can boost your feelings.Those of us who do express our deepest emotions or can’t lock them up any longer are pathologized and told there’s something wrong with us. Another great solution on the opposite end of the scale is laughter, laughing until you ache is a great formula to release stress and tension, it really helps to change our perspective on things that really do worry or frighten us, so, whenever possible laugh as much as you can. They will help you work through your feeling and you will feel comfortable doing so. However if your problem is really deeply set, and well rooted into you, seeking professional advise is very wise and can resolve the problem much quicker and happier for you and your surroundings. Talking about your emotions can also help if you have a great friend who you trust and can confide. When you are overpowered by these emotions and they spring up on you, especially if the feeling has become habitual, try to find yourself a little spot just for you, take a deep breath and then scream or shout as loud as you can, this really helps to release all that you have bottled up, jealousy hatred whatever it maybe, if this is impossible then do a similar process but with a pillow, shout into a deep pillow, which will muffle the sound and then hit it time and time again as hard as you can, this is a great way to release that pent-up tension, you may think you are far to reserved to act in this way, but I would suggest you give it a try, this is something between you and your emotions, no one else and you will be amazed on the release it gives you !Īnother wonderful method is a good cry, just think of something that will trigger this emotion for you, or maybe listen to a certain piece of music that holds memories for you, or maybe its a film that brings those tears up to the surface, just have a wallow in nostalgia. You cannot allow your frustration or fear or anger whatever the emotion you are feeling be taken out on your family and friends or within your work place, there are many ways to discharge pent-up emotion. This is why it is essential that we find a way to release our emotions that suit us, we are all different and some methods suit others better than the next person. You may feel that you need to hide your emotions and be strong for the rest of your family or maybe you simply have always lived within a family unit that do not show emotion to one another or anyone for that matter, this will only create long-term severe negativity, that grows and becomes the root of maybe a terrible illness. This method of hiding your emotions will also add to your original stress, tension and conflict – just as tensing up against physical pain succeeds in causing greater pain. When we keep all our emotions deep down and pent-up, it is important to emphasise that the cure for the outside world is not to put on a brave face and fight back the tears, this will only make things worse and can have great physical effects along the way. ![]()
