Cry It Out!

Crying is curative. Dealing with stress may not leave room for crying in the moment. In the middle of a stressful situation, we must cope and deal and solve the problem. But afterwards, we need to make room for a good cry. Crying is an effective way to deal with the situation that causes the stress (close the loop). Remember - coping does not close the loop, it just helps us survive the situation.

A movie or book or other stimulus that makes you cry is an excellent way to help facilitate having a good old-fashioned cry. It is actually guiding our body through the complete emotional cycle. We are not babies when we cry; we are humans who are completing the stress loop!
