5 Easy Ways To Healthily Release Negative Emotions

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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
