It's okay for a man to cry or show emotions because it's a sign of true strength, not weakness. Society often teaches men to bottle up their feelings, but that only leads to stress and emotional pain. By expressing your emotions, you show that you're secure enough to be vulnerable, which fosters deeper connections with others. It also allows you to process and overcome challenges more effectively. Remember, everyone has emotions, and sharing them is a courageous step toward a healthier, more fulfilling life. 🙌 - Do you agree? ⬇️ - Follow @collectingchecks for more daily content! - Credit: The Pivot - All credit for images and/or videos belong to their rightful owner(s).

I really dislike it when people tell someone not to cry. Crying is healthy. We need to cry sometimes. It’s a release. Otherwise we’re bottling up our emotions and suppressing our feelings. Sometimes I cry for no reason & that’s ok. My body needs to cry that’s what it shall do 💜
Having an off day without really being able to pinpoint why? remember, it's okay not to have all the answers. be gentle with ourselves, and remind ourselves that this feeling is temporary 💖 The artist of this image is @worrywellbeing @Blurtitout #itsoktocry
sometimes everything cries in you, except your eyes I read that somewhere … And I felt it It’s like a storm raging inside Feeling so much, yet showing so little While your heart may ache , your eyes remain composed, betraying nothing to the outside world They bear the weight of unshed tears, the unspoken words, the silent cries for help They hold the stories of your struggles Although they may not cry with you A silent reminder of the strength that lies within, even in the midst of the most profound pain Grieving is a natural process A journey of healing and acceptance Allow yourself the time and space to grieve, to honor the emotions that stir within It’s okay to let the tears fall when you’re ready. They are a release, a cleansing rain to wash away the pain and make way for healing Healing begins with allowing the storm within to find its release The ache of loss will never fully fade, it will soften with each passing day, leaving behind the greatest love that shines brighter than any tears can ever express Until we meet again … #hellotoheaven #itsoktocry #griefislovewithnoplacetogo #tcf #youarenotalone #sayhellotoheaven #formichael #forryan #untilwemeetagain
It's a bad day, not a bad life. Healing is so weird one minute your happy and full of life the next minute your breaking down, if you ever find yourself in that position sit with the feelings process it and send them on their way :) #healing #growing #baddaysbuildbetterdays #itsoktocry #itsokaynottobeokay

We learn as children to get our emotional needs met from the people around us. Our parents, friends and teachers. Unless we unlearn this and learn to meet our needs for ourselves we will continue to relate to our needs, and others, in this way. #Needs #UniversalNeeds #HumanNeeds #Selfirst #SelfCare #SelfLove #PersonalDevelopment #Empowerment #LoveYourself #SelfWorth #LifeCoach #PersonalGrowth #MentalHealth #NourishYourNeeds #Healing #Pain #Sadness #Heartbreak #Emotions #Grief #Tears #Depression #Crying #Sad #Coaching #Mentoring #Human #Life #ItsOkToCry #Truth

What happened in a Breakthrough Breathwork session was for me HUGE ... I started to breathe and I was taken to a memory as a little girl, I was crying and I was being told to stop crying, that it was silly that is was stupid ... I was then taken to different times in my life when I was completely broken inside but I showed up and faced situations without tears, to be Strong and not break down . The first memory was me in a park on my own having a miscarriage. I chose to have an abortion, I so wanted to keep the baby but I didn't want anything to do with the dad. My baby deserved to have a better dad. . So I decided what I thought was for the best and not tell anyone and I had nowhere to go so I went to the park and I was strong and got through it on my own. . I had to go home a few hours later and face my parents and pretend all was ok.. I didnt tell a soul for a very long time but it haunted me every day... I was then taken to me at my brother's, , my dad had found my brother passed away...😭 In this memory I had just arrived , held in my tears so I could I hold my dad and tell him it was all going to be ok... I kept it all together for a while as we spent the week arranging his funeral and sorted out his house. I was then taken to his funeral , where I kept it in and stood up to do a eulogy and I chose to make everyone laugh instead of breaking down because my brother was funny...he was a joker 💖 And then I was taken to my Grandma dying in front of me.. I knew it would really upset her to see me upset.. . So I kept it in for Weeks and weeks.. Until the moments after her last breath...and then I took a big breath and kept it again to Hold my Mum and say it's going to be ok....and I got up at my Grandma's funeral and everyone said I did her so proud . kept how I was feeling hidden .. I then heard a voice say it all happened for a reason.. you HAD to be strong in those moments .. be PROUD of yourself.. its now time to let it out .. its OK to CRY... And I sobbed + sobbed + sobbed...and then when the session ended I told the whole room of my experience + I was actually Vulnerable in front of strangers + I didn't keep the tears in, I didn't hide 💖💖

Yesterday I had a rare parenting moment where all the hard work I’ve been putting in was reflected back to me. . . I was lying on the ground with the girls and a broom stick I use for exercise wasn’t far away. D picked it up and hit me on the bridge of the nose (we’re in the discovery phase of ‘what does this do, what does my body do’ - she’s 14.5 months). . . It stung. Suddenly the hardness of the day, the navigating feelings and emotions, the running around. And now this, was all too much. I promptly burst into tears. For a moment I thought ‘oh tash you’re not a kid, stop crying’ but then I realised how good it felt to release and how important it was to let my kids see that I too cry. I was giving the little girl in me what she hadn’t always been given as a little kid. A space to feel her emotions without them being shut down or distracted from them. . . J came over and said ‘mummy what’s wrong? Are you ok?’ while stroking my hair. I explained what had happened and she then said to D in a very calm and kind voice ‘we don’t hit people in the face, it’s not nice. Mummy you cry as long as you need’. . . At that point D has read the room and she’s launched herself on top of me cuddling me 😭 . . My heart swelled. All those moments where I’ve held them, comforted them and held space for their emotions is exactly what they were doing for me now. 💕 . . It doesn’t always happen, but it’s a reminder that aware parenting is a long game. You might not see the changes straight away but it happens. . . Have you had moments where your parenting has been reflected back to you? Good bad or otherwise, I’d love to know.

It's Mental Health Awareness Month. Mental health refers to your overall psychological well-being. It includes the way you feel about yourself, the quality of your relationships, and your ability to manage your feelings and deal with difficulties.

Here's hoping the mom of that boy loses custody of her kids, because what she's doing is literal abuse. Also, blood work isn't really a fun experience for anyone involved. I literally passed out and hit my head on the floor in the waiting area after I had my blood work done for the first time last month. Thankfully, the floor was carpeted, so it didn't hurt. Boys, it's ok to cry. Real men don't hide their emotions. Also, everyone's afraid of needles at some point in their life. The only people who say it's not ok to cry are people who don't have emotions. #teachboysitsoktocry #itsoktocry #teachboysemotions #boyshaveemotionstoo #boyscrytoo #itsokforboystocry #raisekidstobecompassionate #raisekidstobekind
My mama 🤍 Some days I wish I could be this small again and feel the safety of being tucked inside her arms. That embrace, that love, that gentle touch, telling me everything will be ok. I always try to share stuff on here that’s real and true. And what’s real and true doesn’t always feel good or comfortable. The truth is I’ve been feeling quite weepy in recent days. I’m ok btw. It feels alive, and aliveness tells me it’s important. Also, nothing tells the truth better than our tears. I’m learning that crying is a way to let go of what we think we cannot let go of. You can’t shut yourself off to grief, my loves, without also shutting yourself off to joy. Think of it like a kink in a hose. Stop the flow of sadness, you stop the flow of happiness at the same time. So I’m embracing these tears. They are liquid drops of honesty and love. And they are so, so welcome. • • • • • • • • • • #tears #selfcompassion #growthroughwhatyougothrough #womenempoweringwomen #motherslove #healingjourney #itsoktocry #itsoktofeel #feelingishealing

“Allow yourself to cry when you need to. Sometimes, the world can feel a bit heavy. When we can’t control much of what’s happening around us, it’s okay to shed some tears.” JDV our souls carry so much heavy weight sometimes shed some of it ! It’s ok to be the brave one that cries and be vulnerable! grateful #gratitude #word #hairstylist #motivational #morivationalquotes #quote #perth #quoteoftheday #motivationalspeaker #inspirational #inspiredaily #itsoktocry #letgo #befree #cry #heavy #youarenotalone
Sometimes, tears are the only words your heart can speak. From personal experience, being an autism mom can be an emotional rollercoaster. The joys are immense, the challenges are real, and the love is boundless. But sometimes, the weight of it all can feel overwhelming, leaving us speechless and reaching for tissues instead of words. If you’re a fellow mom raising a neurodivergent child, you know what I mean. Those moments when the tears just flow, carrying with them a mix of emotions: frustration, exhaustion, worry, love, and everything in between. It’s okay to cry, mama. It’s okay to let the tears wash away the stress and release the pent-up emotions. Crying isn’t a sign of weakness; it’s a sign of the strength it takes to navigate the highs and lows of this journey. It’s your body’s way of communicating when words fail to capture the depth of what you’re feeling. It’s a release, a way to process the complexities of this journey. When our children face challenges or when the weight of our responsibilities feels overwhelming, tears become our silent companions, speaking volumes when words fail. Remember, you’re not alone on this journey. We’re in this together, supporting and uplifting each other every step of the way. So, don’t hold back the tears, mama! Let them flow! And when you’re ready, reach out to me. I’m here if you need someone to talk to, cry with, or simply share a moment of understanding, or if you’re interested in exploring how life coaching can support you on this journey. * Remember, you are not alone. We’re in this together. . #itsoktocry #gracesiller #autismmom #autismmomlife #neurodivergentfamily #neurodivergentparenting #loveandacceptance #youarenotalone #crying #cryitout #autismadvocate #specialneedsmom #specialneedsmoms #neurodiversefamily #neurodiversity #inclusionmatters #wellnessjourney #bewell #livewell #selfcare #autismjourney #autismcommunity #neurodivergentcommunity #release #emotionalrollercoaster #waveofemotions #faithhopelove #ilovesomeonewithautism #adhdfamily #dyslexiasupport

It takes a long time to process the marathon! Enjoyed a wee cycle today with middle child. I’m in no rush to run at all! Marathons are still without a doubt my favorite distance. I love the training and process to completing one but when it doesn’t go to plan on race day, It’s a cruel distance as you can’t keep giving it a go like a 5k. What I’m learning is for it to be that ‘perfect’ experience, which is rare everything really has to go to plan on the day and marathon running is just not like that, not for most anyway which is why a,b and c goals are so important. Some things you can control like your thought process others you can’t like the weather or sickness. It was a disappointing time for me and didn’t do my training justice. The disappointment felt tougher cause I know it’ll be a long time before I’m back but I also know shorter distance will benefit me in the long run so once I’m recovered it’ll be the club runs, racing with friends, climbing hills and having fun because i enjoy running of all types and I’m a better person because of running. 15 years ago I never would I have imagined achieving what I have. The dedication I’ve put in to pursing my passions and moving away from a life of alcohol, partying, chain smoking and waking up feeling like crap. If you want to make a big change you have to start with small steps and sometimes it’s good to look back on how far you’ve come when you have a stumble along the way. I’ve gone from abusing my body to running marathons and I think that’s pretty cool regardless of how long it takes me to do them! But my body and my life def need a break from marathons! I’m a mum of 3 and refuse to let it dictate my life or define me as a runner so I’ll be pushing it aside for now and I will come back stronger one day. The feeling of getting faster and stronger over long distances hasn’t left me yet. If you’re still reading thanks! I promise this is my last marathon post for a while! 😀 Bring on the Balfron run tomorrow. Excited to cheer from the roadside 🙌 ❤️ #positivemindset #growthmindset #itsoktocry #strongwomen #athlete #runner #bigscarygoals #marathoner
It’s ok to cry here… Throughout the tea shop you will find tissue boxes. The tea shop has always been meant to be a place where you can walk through the doors no matter what is going on in your life and walk back out in a better light. Sometimes that means coming in and crying whether it’s alone, with a friend etc. As of late, I have had my own bouts of crying at the shop dealing with some heavy issues in life. Please know that it’s ok! You don’t have to try to hold back the tears or feel embarrassed. We have such an amazing team at TR that I know no matter who’s on shift you are in caring hands. We welcome your presence and support you in whatever is going on in life. Would you like a cup of tea and a tissue? #community #werehereforyou #loveothers #bekind #itsoktocry #thislife #tonyareas #teashop #warmdrink #acupoftea #comforting
Wellbeing, fitness, mental health…they’re all connected. Hit one hard, and the others follow. Tonight we are just reflecting on our recent walk and talk session… what a solid way to connect with others 💯. Stepping outside really did wonders today and we felt it 🙋🏻♂️. It’s belter how a bit of fresh air and some boss company can make such a difference. We walked, we talked, and honestly, it felt like a real breath of fresh air for the mind and body. Nice one to everyone who came along, making it an inclusive and powerful experience. Let’s keep this going and make sure we’re there for each other, one step at a time. Don’t think the dog knew we was getting a pic either🐾. • • • • • • #menswalk #menswalkandtalk #mensmentalhealth #mensmentalhealthawareness #mensmentalhealthmatters #northwestwalks #liverpoolwalkandtalk #menstruggletoo #yourenotalone #speakup #communitywalk #mentalhealthcharities #rawnreal #overcominganxiety #suicideprevention #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #wellbeingcoach #mentalhealthquotes #mentalhealthrecovery #mentalwellness #mentalhealthsupport #itsoktocry #endthestigma #endthestigmaofmentalhealth
This little guy is here to remind that it's ok to feel you emotions and cry. It's healthy and not only helps you feel better but give you a more level head. As someone who's grown up hiding a lot of their emotions I hope that this helps some of you too 💕 #blueandjaydesigns #clown #clowncore #digitalartist #digitalart #stickerdesigns #itsoktocry
Our ‘walk n talks’ / walk and talk therapy has combined ways of enhancing mental wellbeing though physical activity, environmental exposure, and therapeutic conversation which creates a positive coping mechanism for emotional healing, purpose and overall wellbeing. To be honest, it can be easier for us to walk side by side, rather than sitting face to face, as it can lessen the feeling of being judged, making it easier to open up and share thoughts or emotions that might feel too much in a traditional therapy setting 💯. So, if you are in need of mental health support, drop us a DM and we will see if we can help 📲. • • • • • • #menswalk #menswalkandtalk #mensmentalhealth #mensmentalhealthawareness #mensmentalhealthmatters #northwestwalks #liverpoolwalkandtalk #menstruggletoo #yourenotalone #speakup #communitywalk #mentalhealthcharities #rawnreal #overcominganxiety #suicideprevention #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #wellbeingcoach #mentalhealthquotes #mentalhealthrecovery #mentalwellness #mentalhealthsupport #itsoktocry #endthestigma #endthestigmaofmentalhealth

We had our Spring memorial yesterday. It used to be this very…old school funeral in a church. I cried all the way home after the first one I attended 8 years ago. Since then, I have worked really hard with #childlifetherapists #socialworkers #teachers #musictherapists #arttherapists #palliativemindedchaplains #volunteers #communitymembers #philonthropicsupporters as well as the community agencies who partner for our bereavement program to create a memorial that honors and celebrates these special children. Last year was the first year I felt like we nailed it. This year we elevated. We will continue to perfect it, and I am so very proud of how far we've come. #idt #celebrationsnotcommiserations #griefdoesnthavetobeallsad #itsoktolaugh #itsoktocry #wehadthememorialinabar #letscallitaneventspace #noalcoholwasserved #memorywalk #everychildleavesalegacy #spring #springmemorial #bereavement #pediatricdeathloss

5 REASONS WHY CRYING IS IMPORTANT 😭 We're often told "don't cry!" when upset, but the truth is crying can be extremely helpful in supporting our mind and body restoring our emotional balance. Crying activates our parasympathetic nervous system to help us self soothe, among other benefits. Here's why it can be good to let out a good cry: 1. Dulls Pain: Crying for long periods of time releases oxytocin and endorphins, or those "feel good chemicals" that can help ease both physical and emotional pain. Oxytocin can give you a sense of calm and well-being. 2. Improves Mood: When you cry, your body takes in many quick breathes of cool air. Breathing in cooler air can help regulate your brain. 3. Restores Emotional Balance: Crying doesn't only happen when you're sad. Crying can occur when you feel intensely excited, happy, or stressed. Researchers say that crying may help bring you to emotional equilibrium. It's your body's way of recovering from a really strong emotion! 4. Allows You To Calm Down: Sometimes when we feel a strong emotion it's difficult to calm our bodies. Because crying activates your parasympathetic nervous system, your body goes into rest mode and you feel more calm. This can help you feel more clear headed and relaxed. 5. Rallies Support. Crying is an outward sign to others that lets them know you may be in need of support. It's an interpersonal benefit. #cryingquotes #therapytips #mentalhealtips #mentalhealthfacts #crying #hoboken #psychologyfacts #psychology #hobokentherapist #nyctherapist #njtherapist #sad #depression #anxious #anxiety #ocd #emotions #emotional #itsoktocry

He doesn’t want you to remember how the end was. He wants to you to be happy as he never was. Live then for him, because he can’t. He was always be with us. Always.

It’s not a weakness to cry, to feel, to have emotions. It’s a strength to feel.
💔 2 years without my dad. I can’t put into words the grief that still lingers. His photo sits on his buffet here, and beyond that his palms, ferns, pots, little table and chairs and various garden ornaments form a sanctuary that’s become my haven. Some days I sit out there and smile at all the memories…other days I can’t stop the flood that escapes my eyes. I love you dad. Still miss you more than I ever thought I could. Thankful we both know Jesus and the hope that brings…He will indeed wipe away every tear and I will get to spend eternity with you. One day. But for now, sometimes, it’s all just too damn hard. 🖤 #griefjourney #missmydad #itsoktocry #griefawareness #deathanniversary
Wellbeing, fitness, mental health…they’re all connected. Hit one hard, and the others follow. Tonight we are just reflecting on our recent walk and talk session… what a solid way to connect with others 💯. Stepping outside really did wonders today and we felt it 🙋🏻♂️. It’s belter how a bit of fresh air and some boss company can make such a difference. We walked, we talked, and honestly, it felt like a real breath of fresh air for the mind and body. Nice one to everyone who came along, making it an inclusive and powerful experience. Let’s keep this going and make sure we’re there for each other, one step at a time. • • • • • • #menswalk #menswalkandtalk #mensmentalhealth #mensmentalhealthawareness #mensmentalhealthmatters #northwestwalks #liverpoolwalkandtalk #menstruggletoo #yourenotalone #speakup #communitywalk #mentalhealthcharities #rawnreal #overcominganxiety #suicideprevention #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #wellbeingcoach #mentalhealthquotes #mentalhealthrecovery #mentalwellness #mentalhealthsupport #itsoktocry #endthestigma #endthestigmaofmentalhealth
There is no child who is too old for closeness. When it comes to babies we hear these pieces of ‘good’ advice too often. ‘Don't cuddle them too much, you'll spoil them! They've been held too much already, put them down or they'll get used to it, and you’ll be in hot water.’ It's simply impossible to spoil a child with hugs, closeness and physical contact. When a little one cries to be picked up, she’s not trying to manipulate you, she’s expressing a need. For a baby, a mother's touch and closeness is just as important as feeding when hungry, protecting her from overstimulation. No, they do not need to learn to be independent. The crib, car seat, bouncer, swing, playpen, stroller. None of these devices satisfy a child's need for physical touch and closeness. Neither provide the safety of the sound of a heartbeat. I know you need to cook lunch, pick up the older one from kindergarten, that your back hurts, that it would be so nice to have just 10 minutes to yourself during the day. You don't have to hold them constantly, but especially in the first six months, when you can, hold them in your arms, lay them on your chest, wear them in a carrier even when they're awake, or when they're asleep. You can't spoil them, they won't become demanding. You don't have to fear that they'll get used to it and then you'll never be able to put them down. They won't turn into a 'demanding monster' who won't give their parents a moment's peace. They need you to listen to them and pay attention and they will show you exactly how much. Trust your instincts and listen to your feelings when it comes to any advice that starts with: ‘They need to learn to…’ #awareparenting #itsoktocry #itsoktolaugh
Our ‘walk n talks’ / walk and talk therapy has combined ways of enhancing mental wellbeing though physical activity, environmental exposure, and therapeutic conversation which creates a positive coping mechanism for emotional healing, purpose and overall wellbeing. To be honest, it can be easier for us to walk side by side, rather than sitting face to face, as it can lessen the feeling of being judged, making it easier to open up and share thoughts or emotions that might feel too much in a traditional therapy setting 💯. So, if you are in need of mental health support, drop us a DM and we will see if we can help 📲. • • • • • • #menswalk #menswalkandtalk #mensmentalhealth #mensmentalhealthawareness #mensmentalhealthmatters #northwestwalks #liverpoolwalkandtalk #menstruggletoo #yourenotalone #speakup #communitywalk #mentalhealthcharities #rawnreal #overcominganxiety #suicideprevention #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #wellbeingcoach #mentalhealthquotes #mentalhealthrecovery #mentalwellness #mentalhealthsupport #itsoktocry #endthestigma #endthestigmaofmentalhealth
Too. Numb. To. Cry. Despite the conditions out there, this human shell is still feeling like a rusty dry machine sputtering with rage and exhaustion. Grateful for the intermittent moments of quenching hope and laughter. Hoping to find some release soon. • • • #itsoktocry #crybaby wish i was #cryingintheclub #dbtskills #xkcd
