Alternately, it could be a small thing that sets you off, turns the tide, or pushes you in another direction. It seems like some force or forces are working against you in every possible area in your life. Everyone has days like I am talking about; you keep taking stuff in, trying to figure it out, nothing is working – it’s exhausting. You keep fighting back tears, trying not to get overwhelmed, and it’s impossible.
That’s when to have a good cry, and it’s more than okay. One of those blubbery, can’t talk, sobbing, hard to breathe, cleansing cries. It doesn’t really matter what it is that brings it on; that’s personal. What matters is that you let it come. The most important thing is to take the few minutes and let it all out. Sob away; let all that pain, sadness, and fear – go. Cry your eyes out, and wallow in that self pity that belongs only to you at that minute. Let it flow out with every blow of your nose. Alone or with a friend, the relief that you feel at the end is exuberating, liberating, and freeing. It’s not limited to the female humans either; something tells me that men could use a good cry sometimes, too.
When you are finished (you will know when you have had enough), dry your face, take a few deep breaths, remember why you are here, and move on. You will probably feel a little tired and wrung out, look a little blotchy and puffy, but you will likely feel a whole lot of relief too. Shedding those tears and letting go of the burden will help you to regenerate that positivity and help you continue on your path.
I have indulged myself in a good cry a little more often than usual lately. I am working hard, taking care of my kids, myself, and trying to get through what the world around me is dishing out. I have plans, dreams, and goals that I have set for myself and my future that are worth the pain that I experience. The pain is part of the growing process. Let the water fall…you might actually be glad that you did…with love…
