Of had je een beter gevoel over die ruzie, vergissing of belediging nadat je je tranen gedroogd had?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Het blijkt dat er veel te zeggen valt voor huilen. Hoewel veel mensen het nog steeds als een teken van zwakte zien of als iets om je voor te schamen voelt, lijkt het echter dat mensen die makkelijk hun tranen laten lopen misschien iets op het spoor zijn.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I, too, was pretty surprised to learn just how beneficial crying is while I was poring through the research for this blog. Did you know, for example, that emotional tears release feel-good hormones such as oxytocin (the \u2018love\u2019 hormone) and leucine enkephalin, the body\u2019s natural pain killer?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Or that crying is a sign of healing, according to clinical psychologists?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this article, I\u2019ll explore why the simple act of releasing tears can be emotionally and physically soothing during times of considerable stress. Read on to learn about the psychological benefits of crying when we use it as a healthy outlet, and how you can save it for later when it\u2019s just not the right moment!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:14px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why Do We Cry When We\u2019re Stressed?<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Crying is a completely normal reaction to emotionally stressful situations, and it\u2019s even one of the healthiest responses we\u2019re prone to!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A huge amount of research has looked into what happens when we cry and why we do it at all, and what the data reveals is pretty fascinating.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As it turns out, there are actually three kinds of tears that we release:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Basal tears &#8211; which nourish and lubricate our eyes (these are being produced almost all the time)&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reflex tears &#8211; which are produced in response to a stimulus (like a fly), and&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Emotional tears &#8211; which contain higher levels of toxins and stress hormones like cortisol.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:14px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>All our tears are released through the same (lacrimal) gland, but emotional tears stem from a different source than the first two types. While reflex tears are triggered by the eye region that\u2019s being irritated, emotional tears come from the limbic system. This is where we process emotions such as pain, sadness, and hurt.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But what on earth do they <em>do?<\/em>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Benefits of Crying<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Emotional or stress-related tears play a lot of beneficial roles when we humans are under stress. Consider the following examples\u2026&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Tears are one way our bodies excrete stress hormones that can build up when we are under pressure. These chemicals, which include cortisol, can cause a lot of health problems when they build up.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Crying is a healthy outlet for negative feelings that we might otherwise keep inside or repress. Emotional suppression is a maladaptive coping style that studies have shown can contribute to poorer immune functioning, heart health, and overall mental wellbeing.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Crying also lowers our levels of manganese; an element that leads to irritability, stress, and aggressive behavior&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It also relaxes some of the <a href=\"https:\/\/sphereofinfluence360.com\/nl\/feeling-tense-3-ways-to-feel-less-stressed\/\"><strong>bodily tension<\/strong><\/a> that is associated with an activated sympathetic nervous system (stress!), releasing our muscles and restoring our equilibrium.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Finally, <a href=\"https:\/\/sphereofinfluence360.com\/nl\/feeling-tense-3-ways-to-feel-less-stressed\/\"><strong>studies show<\/strong><\/a> that crying can increase attachment behavior, helping us bond with others, encouraging them to empathize with us, and inviting support from those loved ones.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:14px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>These reasons are why I created the <em>Bursting Into Tears Stress Coaching Card. <\/em>But if crying is so cathartic, do you still need coaching tips for holding back?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:14px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3 Ways To Stop The Tears<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Obviously, there are times when it\u2019s just not convenient to let out all that you\u2019re feeling\u2013when it\u2019s best to save them for later, like many other coping strategies in our deck of <a href=\"https:\/\/sphereofinfluence360.com\/nl\/stress\/\"><em><strong>Stress Coaching Cards<\/strong><\/em><\/a><em>.<\/em>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you\u2019re with a customer or minutes away from a big meeting, these tips can help you delay the waterworks for a more suitable time later on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:14px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color\" style=\"color:#7e3191\"><strong>1. Take A Literal Step Back<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cHe made me cry!\u201d<\/em> of <em>\u201cShe hurt my feelings!\u201d<\/em> are just a few things we often hear from tearful children, but as we grow up, we tend to realize that\u2019s not quite accurate. Why is that?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oprah.com\/spirit\/how-to-stop-crying-controlling-your-emotions\/2\"><strong>Behavioral psychologist Jerry Bubrick<\/strong><\/a> summarizes it nicely: <em>\u201cIt\u2019s not what the other person says that&#8217;s causing you to cry,&#8221; <\/em>he explains. Rather, <em>&#8220;It&#8217;s how you interpret it.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/em>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If feelings of hurt or frustration have you on the verge of tears, Bubrick recommends putting some physical space between you and the person who\u2019s causing the upset. Take a literal step back and choose not to let this particular offense reduce you to a crying mess\u2013you\u2019d be surprised how often this can be enough to divert the waterworks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:14px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color\" style=\"color:#7e3191\"><strong>2. Trick Your Brain<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Have you heard of facial feedback? This behavioral scientific theory, which is often linked back to Darwin and James, hypothesizes that our facial expressions can impact how we cognitively process emotions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A Columbia University study investigating the phenomenon even reports that participants who viewed a scary video described feeling less intense emotions <em>when they simply didn\u2019t frown through the screening<\/em>.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This ties in with research showing that simulated tearing of participants\u2019 eyes was related to higher reported feelings of sadness\u2013<a href=\"https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/publication\/5472783_A_Test_of_the_Passive_Facial_Feedback_Hypothesis_We_Feel_Sorry_Because_We_Cry\"><strong>simply wetting their cheeks with fake tears was enough to make 53.8% of subjects feel unhappy<\/strong><\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Based on this research, keeping a neutral face is another potential way to stop a surge of unwanted tears. The next time the urge to cry strikes when it\u2019s really not convenient, try avoiding the triggers that lead to tears:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Lower your eyebrows&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Stop them from knitting together, and&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Relaxing your mouth.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:14px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color\" style=\"color:#7e3191\"><strong>3. Do The Opposite!<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>What if the above tips don\u2019t work for you?&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another way to stem the flow is by seeking out an action that\u2019s completely the opposite of crying. Like laughing: look up jokes online or check out a funny video!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Data has long shown that <a href=\"https:\/\/sphereofinfluence360.com\/nl\/what-if-you-cant-find-the-funny\/\"><strong>smiling<\/strong><\/a> can boost our mood and emotional health, while positively impacting the way that we\u2019re perceived by others. But it\u2019s also a brilliant way to prevent us from crying, which can help you save the tears for a more fitting time and place.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So go ahead and smile or laugh, and don\u2019t be afraid that you\u2019re suppressing or internalizing your feelings. Your goal is only to feel a little calmer in the moment, so you can process your feelings later on\u2013in a place that suits you much better.&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you ever felt like laughing with relief after a solid sobbing session?
