As women age naturally we become more in touch with our emotions.. however all over the place they may be. For most women, especially women that put an emphasis on their feminine journey, it’s important to take the time to process and understand our emotions. The more intune we are with ourselves the easier it becomes to interact with others in a healthy manner, as well as, help other sort their emotions.
Here’s are 10 ways to express your emotions in a healthy feminine manner
1. Cry
A good cry can be therapeutic – emotions are just energy and they need somewhere to go so it’s best to get them out. Some women aren’t cryers and have a hard time expressing their emotions in this way, but there is nothing wrong with crying. It does not make you fragile nor does it make you weak. In my opinion, it is one of the healthiest ways to express emotions and really puts you in connection with your feminine energy
2. Journal
Journaling is good for the soul. Getting all your feelings out on paper can really provide clarity and help you sort out exactly what is upsetting you. It organizes your thoughts that would otherwise continue to be scrambled in your mind. It also helps you keep an account of your previous feelings that can help you work through your current emotions. For me journaling is the best method for self reflection and relieving stress.
3. Talk to friends
A trustworthy friend is really the best medicine. They support you, provide insight, and can really help you when you feel misaligned. I personally speak to my best friend just about everyday, and though mostly it’s mindless chit chat, whenever I need someone he is always there with a shoulder to learn on and a listening ear. Disclaimer: Be selective in who you choose to share your innermost feelings with. All of your friends do not have your best interest at heart.
4. Go outside
Vitamin D can do wonders for a weary heart. Sunshine therapy may be one of the most underrated methods of therapy. If you’re feeling blue take a walk around your neighborhood or even just out to the porch.. Fresh air has healing effects on the mind and body.
5. Clean your space
A clean space can really help clear your mind. When your home is filled with clutter it is no wonder you cannot sort out your emotions. Your space carries energy and it should always reflect the energy you want to feel. So put on some music, light a candle, and get to cleaning!
6. Pamper yourself
Wash your hair, go shopping, treat yourself to a spa day. Whatever it is that helps you unwind and feel pampered do it! Though this isn’t a long term solution to unresolved feeling it might be a quick fix to turn your day and mood around.
7. Go to therapy
I highly encourage all women on their journey to bettering themselves to go to therapy. Almost all of who we are stems from our childhood and just about all of us have childhood trauma. It is your job to explore those feelings and get to the root of your issues. A good therapist can help with that! I personally recommend The Happy App. Happy providers are not certified therapist, but regular people that are easily available to listen. I call quite often and find it nice to have such easy access to an unbiased listener. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/happy-the-app/id1177257680 (not an affiliate link – truly just a fan of the service)
8. Exercise
I cannot say this is my go to, but I do know for a lot of women exercising helps them regulate their emotions. When we exercise our body releases dopamine and endorphins that give us all types of good feels. In addition to it being good for our health long term.
9. Rest
Rest and recovery should be a part of all processes imo. Be still and take time to reflect on what triggered your emotional state. Processing those feelings is necessary to getting through them. Feminine energy is introspective and calm. By taking the time to sit with yourself and feelings you are also getting more in touch with your true essence.
10. Don’t feel bad for feeling your emotions
Emotions come and they go. Don’t be too hard on yourself if you’re experiencing unwanted feelings. It is not your responsibility to be on point for those around you at all times. You are human and allowed to have off days. The people who truly matter will understand and the ones who don’t shouldn’t matter. If anyone is making you feel bad for having a moment, no matter how long it may be, remove them immediately because that is not at all what you need in your life.
