[Emotional Release Techniques] Let’s Get Physical

Sep '24 (edited) • Intro's & General Discussion

Energy has both a feminine and a masculine side to it.

Feminine energy releasing would be writing, crying, talking with a trusted person, etc.

Masculine energy releasing is going to look more like running, breaking something, yelling, etc.

There are times when journaling just won’t work for releasing. Sometimes the energy stored in your body needs to be released in a masculine way.

Get Physical!! (But please do so safely!)

I knew a man that was trying to beat a porn addiction, so whenever he got the urge to view pornography, he would put on his running shoes and go outside and run! 🏃 This worked wonders for him and he was able to beat his addiction!

Doing something physical is a wonderful way to move the stuck energy/emotions out of our bodies!

Here are some great ways to physically move and release your emotions:

exercise 🏃‍♂️‍➡️
throwing something heavy 💪🏻

screaming/yelling 🗣️
breaking things 🍶
chopping wood 🪵

Get creative with what you can do to release emotions in a physically exerting way. Whatever you do, make sure that it exerts as much of your strength that you can, safely!

I have some people that like to go out into a field or somewhere they can be alone and they throw big rocks 🪨 and yell and scream while they throw them.

I have some people go buy a bunch of breakable dishes from a thrift store and they take them somewhere they can safely smash them (please where 🥽 safety glasses, long pants 👖, and closed toed shoes 👞 if you do this!) while they scream, and they bring a broom and a trash bag to clean up their mess when they’re done.

I have heard of people cutting down trees 🌲 or chopping wood 🪵 (with all safety gear on!)

While you are doing these physical release techniques be sure to bring the emotion you want to release with you!

If you want to release anger 😡 think of the people, the situations, and feel the emotion itself! Bring it to the surface and release it while you do the physical activity and scream and yell and cry as much as you need to!

Often there are multiple emotions wrapped into one big bundle! Shame often comes with embarrassment, fear, guilt, and anxiety. Anger can be lumped with guilt, sorrow, feelings of worthlessness, etc. YOUR BUNDLE OF EMOTIONS WILL BE UNIQUE TO YOU AND YOUR SITUATION!

Just be sure to unravel and release each of them during the process! Think about the emotion, how it feels, why it hurts, what you’d like to say about it, or what you wanted to say to the person that triggered it, and let it all out!

By releasing your emotions this way, it is allowed to flow out of you through your expression of all the unsaid things you needed to say, all of the pain it has caused, and you can unload it in a safe way that doesn’t hurt anyone!

You will be amazed at how you will feel after doing this!

This is really great for those who have outbursts of anger AT people, to discipline themselves to restrain their anger until they are somewhere alone and can safely release it.

This will prevent you from saying or doing things to people that you will later regret, but still holds a space for the emotion to be expressed and released.

*I share this information to be helpful, but please do your own research, and make sure that you are being safe in whatever physical way you choose to process your emotions. I will not be held liable for any injury or accident you could possibly incur in any of these activities. Do them at your own discretion!
