012: Does Crying Really Mean You Are Emotionally Weak?

Don’t confuse feeling better with actually getting better. Feeling better is just a change in your state or mood and is temporary. Getting better is a change in your overall pattern(s) of handling life challenges and is permanent. Crying makes a difference by releasing toxins, decreasing stress and increasing calm. The vulnerability from crying can even invite connections with others. Be willing to experience the full range of your feelings and know that tearfulness is an integral part of emotional strength. Adopt a fresh attitude towards crying and see it in a new light. Crying simply reflects the intensity of your feelings, yet it is simultaneously an important aspect of your personal growth and transformation.
