Hi Jerrine!

Thank you for this informative view of the Power of Tears. Good to know that it’s good for the heart!

We just had a class in ministerial school where the instructor taught us how to cry while delivering a talk. It was great. She said that when we allow ourselves to cry, it gives others permission to do the same and allows everyone to open their hearts. So to speak! πŸ™‚

It is a surge of prolactin which is produced to protect the heart from damage during stress.
One of the side effects is tears.. now I ok with it when angry and I ignore the dismissal of my point of view because tears are running down my face, Ithink they are kind of artful and underline my passion, that other don’t cry, well that’s their problem…i’ll live longer, she who weeps last…

Hi Karen,

I appreciate your lightness and refusal to take yourself too seriously. What a great way to go through the world!

As for the paper and the shredder and those pesky under-the-fridge pieces: Sister, I feel your pain. (So I went and did the wacky technique to unload all that pain. Ahhhh, now I feel better.)

Thanks, as always, for your awesome comments. πŸ™‚

I have an image to maintain in my community. Oh wait, no I don’t. Count me in. Haha!

The Shangri-la list syndrome is one I know so well. I become a hamster on a wheel in a frenzy to accomplish everything on the list, including shredding the paper the list was written on when I’m done…and dumping all the shred from the past in a trash bag…then meticulously picking up every shredding I dropped, including those that went under the refrigerator, and then finding I need to dust under the refrigerator poste haste and then….

Anywho, thanks. πŸ™‚

Hi Barbara,

Yes, give it a try and let me know how it goes. This method bypasses a lot of the usual resistance. It’s so simple and easy too. You just need to be willing to look and sound really silly. πŸ™‚

I am glad you shared this because I also do not like sharing my anger outright either. Besides, clean up can be difficult because that feeling usually follows, along with embarrassment. I like to avoid these as much as possible. I try to really respect all of my emotions.
After reading this I am going to try this out and see how it goes for me.
Thank you
Barbara
