Three Ways to Channel Your Inner Emotions Productively

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at San Francisco chapter.

When you’re feeling a little down or even a lot of anger, there’s always ways you can channel those emotions into something productive! Here are three (of many ways) to do so.

 

1. Clean!

 

Clean your room, bathroom, kitchen, closet, everything! Clean like a maniac and you’ll find that you feel a little bit better with each thing you clean, and if you don’t you have a clean house!

 

2. Exercise

Exercising is one of the best ways to let your emotions out. You can get so much out of yourself by just taking a jog or heading to the gym and, thanks to Elle Woods, we all know that exercise gives people endorphins which makes you happy!

 

3. Creative Ways

Whether it be through drawing or writing out your feelings in prose or poetry, there’s no better way to make something beautiful out of your anguish than through a creative outlet. Try painting or dancing and you might just find yourself feeling a lot better and something new you’re good at.

 

Feel Better!

Hey there!I'm Karleigh Shepard, an aspiring writer currently living in San Francisco and attending San Francisco State University as a freshman English major. I'm from SoCal, so NorCal has been quite a change for me but I love it! In high school I was a cheerleader, a Peer Leader, Vice President of my drama department, and an active participant in musicals and shows. Although I don't do all of that in college, those experiences really shaped me into who I am today and I'm so thankful that I did them. I also love music of all kinds; my favorites include Led Zeppelin, the Beatles, Arctic Monkeys, Mac DeMarco, Best Coast, Foxygen, The Vaccines, and so much more.I hope you enjoy my articles!- Karleigh Shepard
