6 surprising benefits of... crying

Stress reduction

There are many different stresses that we face in life, both social and family. If we do not know how to resolve these conflicts, sometimes we fall into a state of “out of control”.

One of those ways is crying, which can help dispel negative emotions and worries and when we cry, it helps us feel relieved.

Help overcome pain

There is nothing more painful than losing a loved one or having your heart broken… perhaps at that time your spirit is very chaotic and on the brink. When we are human beings, we are hurt, lost, suffering, the natural thing that happens is that tears roll down and this is the best way for us to turn negative emotions into something tangible. Crying is the first step to overcome physical and mental pain.

Improve mood

When crying, the brain produces endorphins - a neurotransmitter in the brain that creates positive emotions, improves mood, and helps relieve stress. Knowing that crying does not make you happier, but it changes your mood, helps you overcome difficult times so you can rise up strongly.

Reduce psychological problems

When thoughts and emotions are not expressed, they cause us to suppress them, suffer mental pressure and sometimes cause depression, anxiety, lack of self-confidence... People who are often depressed and sad (without expressing or suppressing their emotions) often have digestive disorders, respiratory and cardiovascular diseases.

Increase communication skills

Crying changes your facial expression, making others understand that you are experiencing anxiety, sadness, etc. When we share something that makes us cry, friends will help, soothe our emotions, and sympathize with us more.

Good for the eyes
