5 Easy Ways To Healthily Release Negative Emotions

In This Article:

Finding ways to rid yourself of sadness, anger, etc. can be difficult. There is no reason to hold it all in. With these tips, you will be able to relieve your body in a healthy way.

1. Yell out a song

Ever just need to get a good yell out? Yelling the lyrics of a song is a great way to release pent up anger. Usually I personally prefer doing this when I am in my car, but you could really achieve doing this anywhere.

2. Go for a drive

Not only can you yell a song in a car, but you can also cry or talk yourself through a problem without feeling any shame. Without anyone around, you have the freedom to express your emotions with no judgement. When having a bad day, take the backroad, go the scenic route, and don't forget to take your time.

3. Work out

Working out is a physical activity that not only helps your body but it helps your mind. Cardio is a great way to clear your mind. Go on a run, ride a bike, or jump some rope. Lifting is a stress reliever. After lifting you feel as if you are not weighed down by anything. Working out is a great way to reopen your mind.

4. Write everything out, then destroy it

Writing out your feelings can be very beneficial. Keeping it in a place you can read it though, might be a bad idea. Having the ability to read your problems could cause you to dwell on them, so once you are finished, rip it up. If you are a person that needs to get the anger out in a more aggressive manner, try writing everything on a plate and shattering it.

Do not live in the past. Get it all out, get rid of it, and move on.

5. Dance it out

Throw your own little dance party! Crank up your guilty pleasure music, (mine is the 2010s), and jump around without a care in the world. This will give you a chance to put a little pep in your step and remember that there are positive things around you.

Never let your negative emotions run your life. There is always a way to make a situation better. See the bright side of every problem you endure.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
