Scream

Challenge #111

Without getting into the detailed specifics of primal scream therapy and it's benefits, I feel as though most people would say that they can and would benefit from an occasional scream, the act of just releasing frustration and suppressed anxiety in one huge roar. The act of releasing by screaming creates a sort of breakthrough to feeling again, freeing us from the numbness that we create by suppressing anger, hurt, frustration and anxieties over a period of time, sometimes, a lifetime. The problem is that out of frustration and disregard of other's feelings, sometimes, people scream at others, their partners, children, strangers, anyone at the time in the moment of their frustration or anger, and sometimes without realizing what they have done, because they are so numb at the time.  I believe that other professionals would agree that we all need a time of where we can "let it all out" and just scream. The more responsible way would be to go and scream by yourself out in the open without any reserve where noone else can hear you or mistake your scream as a scream for help in a life-threatening situation.

I challenge you to find a safe place that you can go to where noone else can hear you and just.... scream.  You can do this several times, just make sure that you breathe deeply and have plenty of water and tissues. Be careful that you don't wreck your vocal chords either, by screaming too much repeatedly.  A few times is probably more than enough, keeping in mind that you want it to be strong enough that you genuinely feel a true release. And, when you scream, do make sure that is comes from deep down within and spews up and out of you energetically, as you are releasing negative and toxic thought and emotion with it.  Notice how lighter you will begin to feel....
