5 Refreshing Ways To Release Negativity & Embrace The New Year
We all deal with negativity daily, but how we deal with it will affect how we interact with others. Of course, this means we need to discover the ways that best suit our personality and values. Not every method of releasing negativity will work for us, but we must be open to exploring new ways of being and doing in order to grow as a person and be the best we can be.
Here are five ways you can release negativity and transform your life:
Journal it out. Then destroy it.
Take time to write out your worries and anxieties to get them out of your head and physically release them. This activity works best with a pen to paper but can be done on a computer. The vital part is to destroy what you have written afterward as a way of letting go.
Recognize your feelings and name them.
Acknowledge what brings you down and show yourself compassion. Don't suppress it or ignore it. Embrace the feeling and honor what it is trying to tell you. Name the emotions so you can deal with them accordingly. We will often bottle up our senses to the point we can't distinguish one from the other. Take time to consider what feelings are coming up for you, name them, then consider how to deal with them healthily. Sometimes, acknowledging it can be how you need to release what is bothering you and move on with your life.
Find an activity that brings you joy.
Playing a video game or doing a puzzle can bring you simple joy. Enjoying an activity like this is a great way to escape and relax while releasing negative thoughts and emotions. Also, sometimes an activity can be shared with someone you love, such as a family pet. Having a pet is a great way to bring joy into your life and release negativity. Play with your pet in an activity that both of you enjoy and see how it lifts your spirits.
Be creative with your expression!
Create your own special interpretive dance or mind play that helps you deal with stress. This isn't about being the best dancer or exercise, but about exercising out your feelings of distress and healthily expressing them. Transformation is key to releasing anything that worries or troubles you. Release the heaviness can either be down physically or through mental exercises. Mental activity can take the form of a daydream or meditative practice. It's up to you as to what would work best and benefit you in the long term.
Make it cleansing as well as necessary.
Breath and release your stressors through water immersion. Sometimes our daily rituals can be dual purposes. This can look like washing the dishes or taking a shower. It doesn't have to be complicated. It's about altering your mindset during these activities to help you release and refresh. Set the intention to do your task and set aside moments to remove any negativity you wish to cleanse yourself off and begin anew. You may find this added mindset refreshing and easy to apply to your daily life!
