Let It Flow: Why Crying Is Your Body and Soul’s Best Friend (Yes, Today is a Good Day to Cry)
We’re diving deep into the watery world of tears. Yeah, I know, crying. Some days you just feel it bubbling up, right? Maybe there’s no ‘big’ reason, just a heaviness, or maybe there is a massive wave crashing over you. And in those moments, sometimes all we hear is that voice saying, “Suck it up,” or “Big kids don’t cry.” Well, I’m here to tell you, loud and clear, that voice is absolutely wrong. Crying? It’s not just okay, it’s powerfully good for you. For all of you.
Crying isn’t Weakness, It’s Release
We’ve all been there. Life throws a curveball, a situation feels overwhelming, or sometimes, you just feel that deep ache in your chest. For too long, crying has been painted as a sign of weakness. Let me tell you, I’ve navigated some seriously rocky shores in my life, moments where I felt utterly lost and broken. And you know what got me through some of those toughest stretches? Letting the tears fall. Every single drop wasn’t failure; it was release. It was acknowledging the pain, giving it space, and starting the process of letting go. Crying is an active, powerful process of saying, “This is real, and I’m processing it.”
The Physical Detox You Didn’t Know You Needed
Your body is incredibly wise. When you experience stress, pain, or intense emotions, your body produces stress hormones and other not-so-great chemical build-ups. Guess what? Tears, particularly emotional tears, contain these very substances. Think of it as your body’s natural way of hitting the ‘reset’ button. Crying is a physical detoxification process. It literally helps rid your body of chemicals that accumulate during emotional distress. Holding back those tears? It’s like keeping stagnant energy trapped inside. Let ’em flow and clear out the gunk.
Watering Your Soul’s Garden
Beyond the physical, the energetic and spiritual benefits are profound. Emotions are energy in motion, right? When you suppress feelings – be it sadness, frustration, or even overwhelming joy – you block that energy flow. Crying helps move stagnant energy. It’s like rain for your inner landscape, nourishing the soul and washing away emotional dust bunnies.
It also connects you deeper to your authentic self. Allowing yourself to be vulnerable enough to cry is an act of profound self-acceptance and honesty. It signals to your soul, “It’s safe to feel.” This deep self-compassion is key to stepping into your power and living a truly heart-centered life. Tears can break open hardened places within you, creating space for more light, more love, and more intuition to flow in.
Today, If You Want To Cry, Cry. And Know It’s OK.
Maybe reading this makes you feel the urge right now. Go with it. Find a safe space, take a deep breath, and let your body do what it needs to do. Don’t judge it. Don’t analyze it. Just feel it. Your tears are not a step backward; they are often a cleansing, a release, a necessary pause on the path forward.
So yes, you want to cry today? Beautiful. Let it happen. It’s your body clearing house, your soul asking for space, your spirit finding its natural rhythm. Embrace the power in those tears. They are part of your healing journey, a sacred part of being wonderfully, messy, feeling human. Trust this process. Trust yourself.
Conclusion
We covered how crying is a powerful release, a physical detox for stress hormones, and a vital way to clear stagnant emotional energy to connect deeper with your soul. Letting yourself cry is an act of strength, self-acceptance, and essential self-care. If you feel the need to cry today, honor that feeling.
