HOW TO:
Free Your Emotions: Use Writing as an outlet for letting go.

Letting go is the hardest aspect of dealing with anxiety. Even when we consciously realize that our hurt and concerns are a heavy load to bear, it can be difficult to let go. These are the things that make us feel heavy and weaken our vitality both physically and emotionally.

The enormous energy needed to protect ourselves from pain and anxiety is depleting, and so we must learn to release the fears and unburden our soul.

We must, in the words of Della Hicks-Wilson, "let the truth exist somewhere other than inside your body."

In order to create space in our bodies for joy, peace, and vitality, we must release the pain, worry, fear, trauma, shock, and shame that have been stored there.

Writing is among the best ways to let go of emotions. We give voice to our inner selves when we write. We progressively gain a deeper awareness of ourselves when we take our time, clear our minds, and slow down. We are then able to process and makes sense of what’s happening with us and around us. We get fresh insight, learn about new options, and cultivate a different mindset.

It takes bravery to write. You take a stand for yourself, own your weaknesses, and examine the dark aspects of yourself in greater detail. But the act of writing is liberating. It gives us permission to release.

By putting our fears and hurts down on paper, we can let them go without judgment or worry. We find that our journals provide a secure haven where we may release ourselves, get unstuck, and proceed. Writing allows us to let go, and letting go allows us to heal.

Here is a great video that will help you learn further how to use writing to process your emotions:

POSITIVE NEWS OF THE DAY

Amazon forest is getting the attention it needs…

After pledging to oust illegal miners from the Amazon, the Brazilian government has launched its biggest-ever operation targeting cattle ranchers squatting on indigenous territories.

Operation Eraha Tapiro, which means ‘ox removal’ in the language of the Assurini Indigenous people, aims to remove thousands of cows from the rainforest’s Ituna-Itatá region.

It was swamped by so-called land grabbers under Brazil’s previous president, rightwinger Jair Bolsonaro, and in 2019 became the Amazon’s most deforested indigenous area.

Incomer Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has pledged to turn back the tide of deforestation and environmental crime. This week, an armed task force began driving cattle out of Ituna-Itatá. Around 5,000 will be moved in the operation, which is expected to take several weeks.

DID YOU KNOW?

Screaming can feel so good and cathartic when you’re working to process feelings. Scream into a pillow, scream into the void, scream until you get out whatever emotions you need to get out. As long as you’re not disrupting anyone in a real way, you’ll be fine.

What is Half Frog Pose?

Half frog pose, or ardha bhekasana in Sanskrit, is usually used to stretch the quadriceps and deep hip flexors. From a prone position, one foot is held near the buttocks while the yogi supports their uplifted torso with their other arm.

Instructions

• Lie on the belly with the forearms on the floor and parallel.

• Exhale and bend the right foot in toward the buttocks. Hold the foot with the right hand, fingers pointing forward and elbow toward the sky.

• To deepen the posture, straighten the left arm.

• Breathe while holding the pose.
