All year round we hold on to worries, fears, annoyance and anger. Even when we try to let go of these emotions, they somehow find a way to creep back in. That’s called being human. We all experience emotions. Of course, some forms of emotion are a gift – happiness, love, passion, excitement – while others can be considered a curse. Feeling – and expressing – that emotion is in many ways a double-edged sword.
But as humans we also have many options to express those emotions, so that they do not continue to weigh on our body, mind and soul. Frustrations affect liver energy and can fester in the body. Let them go!! As we close out 2023, try some of these tips to let go of what you’ve been holding on to.
1. Eggs! Find a plant that needs some extra nutrition and throw a dozen eggs in that direction. As you throw the eggs, you will also hear a “Ha” sound.
2. Bubble wrap! Put down a sheet of bubble wrap and jump to your heart’s content. Invite your children to join in too. As you pop each bubble, imagine releasing held emotions.
3. Dance! Music does a body good! Put on some nice music and let loose. If you’re worried about what the neighbors will think, close the curtains. Dance, dance, dance until you feel free!
4. Balloon project! Write down on small pieces of paper the things that have plagued you in 2023. Then put these papers in balloons and blow up the balloons. Now dance, jump and stomp on all the balloons until you destroy everything you no longer need.
Clear the emotions of 2023 and enter 2024 with a clean slate.
