How to Express Your Emotions in a Healthy Way
The ability to express one’s emotions in a healthy manner can have a positive impact on our health and wellbeing. Below are five ways to help you facilitate healthy emotional expression:
 
  1. Be optimistic. By focusing on the positive, you will find it easier to express yourself in a range of situations while enjoying the many wonders of life.
  2. Cut the distractions. Whether in the form of cell phones, television, or music, distractions hold many people’s attention hostage. Once you turn off the “noise”, you will be better able to tap into your inner feelings and express them outward.
  3. Practice acceptance. Accept those aspects of your life that are out of your control. Doing so will make you feel better while freeing up your mind to become more emotionally expressive.
  4. Forgive. Whether you have not forgiven yourself or someone else, holding a grudge is the antithesis of expression. If you free yourself from resentment, you will open your heart and mind to positive expression.
  5. Be grateful. It is pretty hard to be unhappy while feeling thankful. Appreciate what you have and you will be better able to express a sense of joy.
