1 . Watching horror movies can sometimes lead to a person feeling frightened and unable to sleep. If you're frightened or anxious after watching a horror movie, you can face your fears by acknowledging what frightens you, talking about them, and thinking about them logically.     1     .

Acknowledge the things you are scared of. After watching a horror movie, you may be worried about zombies, ghosts, serial killers, vampires, or a myriad of frightening things. Think about what scares you, and acknowledge the things that you fear.    2     , or just make you more scared (this method may not work for everyone).

    3     . It can be very helpful to tell someone else how you are feeling. Talk to your sibling or parents, or call or text a friend. Choose someone who is supportive and will listen as you explain what is upsetting you.

Be logical about what frightens you. Remind yourself that you are just as safe as you were before watching the movie. Use logical thinking to pick apart your fears. Tell yourself that it was a movie, not reality, and realize that the movie was designed to scare you.    4     .

Watch something funny.    5     . Or, watch an episode of a funny show that you like. Focusing on something other than the horror flick can help dissipate your fear. Laughter will also help to change your mood and make you feel better.

2 . We feel angry or bad about the things we did or did not achieve, about the things that we cannot have, and many other things. It seems that everyone carries their own bad emotions. But neither guilt nor anger can help us.     1    

These bad emotions don’t do anything good for us at all. So you might ask yourself — is it possible to put down this heavy burden and give yourself a break? It is quite possible. Start by actually looking at your feelings.     2     Why do we carry them for so long instead of putting them down? Can we live without them?

By thinking about our bad emotions, we can find healthy ways to deal with them.     3     They provide no relief. Instead, there are better ways to solve them. One of the best ways is forgiveness.

Forgiveness is a powerful tool. We should forgive ourselves first. We shouldn’t keep bad emotions inside.     4     This is not always easy. But when we learn to forgive ourselves, it becomes easier to forgive others as well.

There is nothing good about carrying years of emotional burdens. By forgiving ourselves and others, we can abandon our burdens and feel better about ourselves. The moment you do this, you will start to feel a lot lighter. Years of heaviness will be magically lifted.     5
