The next time you feel negative emotions welling up inside, write your thoughts down on a piece of paper.
Take the paper and rip it to pieces. Focus on the sound of the tearing and the feel of the paper shredding between your fingers.
Take the tiny shreds in hand and release them over a trash can to symbolize the release of your stress as they drift downward.
Why
Anger, irritation, frustration, regret: these emotions can pack a real punch if they aren’t resolved quickly. Avoid the negative effects of these stressors with this simple, healthy activity that can help you express yourself and release tension.
