Laugh, scream , cry today. FEEL your emotions. React in a healthy way!!

Sometimes we feel that we always need to be strong. That our sadness shouldn’t matter because others have it worse. That we shouldn’t be angry because it’s not as bad as we think. When we say these things to ourselves, we are not being true to our emotions. When you get mad, feel mad. Not all day, or all week, but in that moment allow yourself to feel angry, then release it. It is hard to release a feeling that you have not truly allowed yourself to feel. You cannot lessen the way you are feeling while those emotions are bubbling.

Even happiness. A lot of people feel uncomfortable being happy because someone close to them is struggling. That is not fair to yourself! I spent years of my life holding onto so much hate in my heart because of the way I was raised to handle emotions. My father taught me that sadness was weakness and if someone saw you cry then they would take advantage of you. If someone saw you too happy, they may take what you have. Everything was supposed to be hidden, closed off from the world. The older I got, the more I drank to hide those emotions, which never worked in my favor because everything came out way too hard after drinking. And I never remembered my release.. so did I really release anything?

When I finally started working towards the woman I wanted to be, I had to let go of that way of living. I had to let go of everything I had bottled up for years. When I finally accepted myself and let my emotions out in a healthy way.. it truly changed me. I felt strong that I could cry and still get back up and smile.

Own your feelings today. Recognize what you are feeling today, and why you are feeling it. Laugh, scream, cry today. RELEASE what is inside of you, then move on with the rest of your day.

How did it feel to let yourself feel your emotions today without any guilt?
