In spring, you may feel agitated, frustrated, irritated, angry, fearful, stressed, or sad as unresolved emotions and feelings from the last year linger and we carry them with us. Stuck emotions are waking up and sprouting from within.
Experiencing these intense and heavy emotions is normal, being peaceful and calm all the time is not the reality most live in. Avoiding or ignoring these intense emotions will bury them deeper and cause more suppression. Physical movement can help inspire you to ease into discomfort and will allow you to process your emotions.
Dedicate a specific amount of time to release stagnant emotions in a constructive, non-harmful, and safe way. Find a way of intense physical movement that will make you feel something and allows you to let your suppressed rage and anger out.
Youtube is a great place to find guided breathing, meditation, and yoga. You can even search for “Yoga for when you feel angry” to get the most specific flow for your feelings!
Find a private space where you can move your body between 5 - 30 minutes. Create an intense playlist that matches how you are feeling internally and choose songs that trigger these intense emotions. Let your body go wild with physical movement.
Dance, shake, twist, jump, swing your arms, bounce, scream, punch a pillow or your bed.
Try connecting your breath with your movement and slow things down or speed things up depending on your music. You can think of it like a conscious tantrum.
Notice how you begin to let go of the weight you’ve been carrying internally and underground as it releases into external movement.
