Find a own space to unleash your emotions. If you are embarrassed to cry, shout, anger, scream or sadness, watch a movie or jump into the pool & release all the emotions, which weighed you heavy and stopping you to move forward.

2. Write a Letter to Yourself

Write down every single detail  about every little thing, be it a person or situation.

Keep writing until you’ve exhausted with your feelings. Don’t hold yourself back on anything. You may also burn this letter, If still left with any anger remained in you. Watching it burns and turns up into the ashes will instantly weigh down your negative feelings.

3. Intense workout 

Any fiery forms of energy can be healthily expressed through an intense workout. So, try some of the intense workout to feel your anger to the fullest. Anger is often the result of not speaking up for ourselves and avoiding all repressing this emotion, so try to learn how to negotiate and be assertive. 

4. Notice how much energy anger burns up

It takes so much energy to hold onto grudges and bitterness. Once you forgive & let go the things, it actually increases your energy and fills you with inner peace. Staying angry at someone hurts you the most. Whenever another person is unkind or cruel, their behavior is secretly a reflection of how they treat themselves, So start practice on letting go of intense emotions.

5. Use natural soothing herbs

Herbs such as holy basil is very effective herbal remedies for anxiety that help to calm down your nervous system.  If you are struggling with extreme muscle tension take it as a medication for a short period of time.

6. Accept What you can't Control

Be kind to yourself and always accept that you did the best you could with the knowledge and maturity you had at the time. However,we can't control our thoughts, but can always choose to be positive and have happy thoughts. It is a very simple practice and from continuity can bring some wonderful results. Remember, you have no control to change any situation or person in your life. So, be kind to understand this fact and stop suffering.

7. Accept the Change

Sometimes we tend to so resistant to the transformation of life. We desperately want everything to stay the same because of comfort and safety. It’s okay to feel that way but accepting the change can also be very liberating. After all, change is what makes life so alive and vibrant. Sometimes a shift in perception is all we need.

8. Reconnect with your soul

Personally speaking, depression seems a sign of soul loss to me. We believe that what we need lies within our life for a better house, more money, or an upgraded personality but the truth is that we are all searching for an inner home within us. Some simple practices on your inner work connect you to your soul .So, go outside and feel the wind against the sun. Through this short walk, the warmth of nature will pull you out of your head and remind you of the little pleasures of life.

9. Identify your weak points

Pay attentions on your thoughts.What kind of thoughts are dominating your brain? Are you feeling frustrated where a great source of  energy consuming? Like any other concept or idea in life, please understand that surrender takes time. Give yourself space and permit mistakes.

10. The Monkey mind

Everybody hates to being wrong, but do not get of addicted to this feeling. Sometime, we keep trying desperately to prove that we are the victim, and the other side being right all the time. Focus and realize that there is nothing that can be done about past. The healthiest thing for you is to move on and practice letting go.

Please note that Letting go takes time and dedication. It is only our attachment with our thoughts that is a main cause of our suffering. It is always possible that such an experience may give a birth to some good things in your life. So, believe into the process of universe & accept everything happens for a reason. Stop seeing at the close doors and explore the new opportunities, which is yet to come into your life.
