Positive Reframe on Expressing Emotions to Improve Your Life

Using a balloon, I demonstrate what happens when we do not find ways to process our emotions. Emotions tend to get a bad rap in our society. Emotions provide data and are vital for our well-being. We are emotional beings and our emotions play a big role on how we think, feel, behave, and interact with others.

When we don’t make time to process, express, and make sense of our emotions, then we will unconsciously repress/internalize or project/externalize our emotions causing more stress and harm within ourselves and our relationships. There are simple and even fun ways to process emotions that improve our health and relationships.





Positive Reframe shares resources with the intent of the positive progression of informed decision-making related to issues associated with emotional, relational, physical, and spiritual wellness. While I share personal and professional perspectives, my writings reflect my personal opinion and are not intended to substitute professional advice, diagnosis, and treatment thus the content shared on this page is for informational purposes only. This online medium does not lend itself to the level of detail and rapport building required for thorough assessment and therapeutic intervention. To make well-informed decisions that best meet your family’s unique needs, I highly recommend exploring and researching available options, consulting primary healthcare providers, engaging in respectful dialogue with friends and family as well as seek referrals from a trusted source for professional counseling.
