PRACTICE 

With practice, we can increase our nervous system resources even in the most stressful conditions.
 

All it takes is conscious awareness and a commitment to wellbeing.

I. MINDFUL CRYING

Move from overwhelm to compassion, from anger to peace, from despair to hope. Mindful crying can shift stress, anxiety, anger, overwhelm, grief, and even numbness.

II. PROACTIVITY

Sometimes it makes sense to cry proactively. Feelings of anxiety or detachment can be a signal that our nervous system requires support that crying could provide. In fact, crying proactively often offers safer pathways to emotional tears than crying in crisis can.

III. EDUCATION

It's easier to cry when you understand why

Emotional tears play a vital role in helping your nervous system to regulate.

​

When you're feeling overwhelmed, it helps to know what's happening to your nervous system, and why crying is your body's preferred "release valve" for stress!
