All the emotions we fail to express create blockages and ills such as stress, anxiety attacks, deep frustration and depression. When we don’t want to dwell on them, we can find comfort in addictions such as food, cannabis and tobacco.
How can you change these bad habits and act more naturally on your emotions in everyday life? 10 tips to help you do just that…
Why release your emotions?
Repressed emotions become problematic when they prevent us from feeling good, relaxing or simply being happy.
The good news is that when it comes to releasing past or present emotions, you can have a hand in it.
In fact, it’s quite possible to learn how to release your emotions little by little, by practicing certain activities on a daily basis to refocus on yourself, become aware of your feelings, name your emotions and let them calm down quietly without doing anything in particular.
