This short article is for a few of you... yes, is you. Dedicated just for you.
Crying.
Has it been a long time since you had a good cry? I mean an all out, sobbing, blubbering, nose-running cry? Do you think something catastrophic has to happen before you're allowed to let yourself go and cry?
Crying is cleansing. It removes pollutants from the body. According to a study cited by Robert Ornstein & David Sobel in the Healing Brain, analysis of human tears emitted because of pain or joy show a different chemical make-up then tears emitted because of eye irritations caused by something in your eye or cutting up an onion. 'Real' tears contain higher levels of toxic substances that the body is evidently eliminating through crying. That's a good news - one more way to get rid of the 'junk' we accumulate. (A good cry once a week is what we're after, not once a year.)
I cry at movies, I cry during songs, I cry at Church, I cry when everything is wonderful, I cry when everything isn't. And I do feel lots better afterwards. You can, too.
If crying isn't something you do naturally or if it embarrasses you for any reason, it's okay to be a closet crier until you get the hang of it. Start by noticing what brings up 'teary' feeling for you, A particular song, a movie, a person. Then use whatever it is to 'create' a good cry. So this when you're completely alone or with someone you trust. Crying alone can feel isolating. Crying with someone you trust who keep his/her mouth shut and just lets you cry can be incredibly liberating. If you aren't ready to do it with anyone around, keep reminding yourself that this is a good thing to do, a healthy thing to do. Because it's true. Crying is normal and natural. It's not shameful or weak. If you find that you simply cannot cry, don't give yourself a hard time. Instead, talk with a friend about your experiences with crying or not crying. If even there that's too much, try writing about it yourself. When we've lost a natural function that serve a purpose, it's important to begin to find ways to bring it back into our lives.
Crying is a very useful stress reducer and it's good for you.Taken from 'Undress your Stress' by Lois Levy, M.S.
Perhaps that is why I love to cry. Another reason to cry. Tissue anyone??
