affected by things in your environment, but how you choose to deal with them is always 
a matter of how you choose to react to the situation. Instead of burying pain, or become 
a reactionary, you can aim to make more productive choices, but being sad is a part of 
life. 

Find Ways to Express Yourself 

When you’re feeling upset, there are a lot of ways to deal with your emotions. One way 
that people have dealt with their emotions since the beginning of time is through that of 
expression. People Have a desire to create things, and art in its various forms can be 
an excellent way to express feeling that you might not be able to discuss in conventional 
ways. Things like musical pieces and paintings can express multifaceted and subtle 
shades of emotion. That’s part of why art can stand the test of time to the point that art 
remains valuable hundreds of years after it has been created and the creator has long 
since passed away.

Choose something healthy that you can do for yourself. This can include things like 
learning new languages, taking a bath, working out, or anything else that enriches your 
quality of life. Giving yourself something good to focus on can also give you a lot of 
confidence. Increasing your skill set will almost certainly open new doors for you in the 
future.

attacks is because they have bad breathing habits. People who don’t breathe deeply 
enough can cause their heart to become weak over time.
