Shedding tears can be good for your health…

Crying activates the body in a healthy way. Letting down one’s guard and one’s defences and crying is a very positive thing.

Stress tightens muscles and heightens tension, so when you cry you release some of that. Crying activates the parasympathetic nervous system and restores the body to a state of balance. 

— Stephen Sideroff (Ph.D, Clinical psychologist at UCLA and director of Rahul Wallenberg Institute of Ethics)

I love having a good cry. I takes the lid off the boiling pot, so to speak. Happy to hear it’s actually good for your health and well being. Just sayin’ ;) Hugs and good luck. XO

Blessings,
