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.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
