Crying Helps You Move On<\/h3>\n<p>Refusing to acknowledge a painful situation and acting like everything is fine won\u2019t help you let you of the pain and move on. But crying can. Crying is a healthy way to let your emotions out and release the baggage you\u2019ve been holding onto.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5282\" src=\"http:\/\/www.loveforhealthyfood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/woman-crying-tissue-1000x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.loveforhealthyfood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/woman-crying-tissue-1000x600.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.loveforhealthyfood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/woman-crying-tissue-1000x600-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.loveforhealthyfood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/woman-crying-tissue-1000x600-768x461.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.loveforhealthyfood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/woman-crying-tissue-1000x600-500x300.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>3. Crying Helps Relieve Stress<\/h3>\n<p>When you cry, your body begins to relax. You\u2019re finally able to let out the emotions you\u2019ve been holding onto, which helps relieve stress. That\u2019s <span id=\"ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-141\" class=\"ezoic-adpicker-ad\"><\/span><span id=\"ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-115\" class=\"ezoic-adpicker-ad\"><\/span>why you feel betterafter a good, overdue cry.<\/p>\n<h3>4. Crying Helps You Process Grief<\/h3>\n<p>Losing someone who was close to you is never easy. The grief you feel can become so overwhelming that you feel trapped inside of it. Allowing yourself to cry instead of holding your emotions in can help you process the grief and loss that you feel.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5283\" src=\"http:\/\/www.loveforhealthyfood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/crying-e1462197738293.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.loveforhealthyfood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/crying-e1462197738293.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.loveforhealthyfood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/crying-e1462197738293-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.loveforhealthyfood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/crying-e1462197738293-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.loveforhealthyfood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/crying-e1462197738293-449x300.jpg 449w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>5. Crying Helps You Feel<\/h3>\n<p>Have you ever been so overwhelmed or upset that you don\u2019t know how to feel? A good cry can help you sort out your emotions<span id=\"ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-118\" class=\"ezoic-adpicker-ad\"><\/span>. The release of all your pent-up negative energy can help you step back, relax and figure out your next step.<\/p>\n<h3>6. Crying Shows Vulnerability<\/h3>\n<p>Vulnerability isn\u2019t a bad thing. Crying shows that you\u2019re not afraid to feel. You are in touch with your emotions and you could care less about what society thinks. Crying shows strength, not weakness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Even though crying is perfectly natural, many of us still try to hide it.
