How am I using these tears?

Do you cry a lot? Do you enjoy crying?

Sometimes crying is a way for your body to release tension. Is that what you're doing?

To find out, ask yourself "How am I using these tears?" If you become aware that you are using tears as a tool, a weapon, for protection or any other kind of manipulation, ask yourself "What am I doing here? Is it really working?" 

And if you become aware that your tears are not creating the changes you'd like, ask "What else is possible?" 

Of course you can also ask these questions of anyone — directly or silently to yourself to gain awareness — if you have someone in your life who cries a lot. 

Crying is not a wrongness and these questions are simply one way to expand your awareness of what is really going on in case you'd like to create a change. ​
