Over the years, we have been determined to be strong in any situation that befalls us and not to let anyone protect us. This is the case of the modern generation that was passed on by the preceding generation. But the current picture is different. The stress level in the current generation is too high to remain silent. Stress is nothing more than the emotions and feelings bottled up in the face of a situation we faced and the response we did not let out. To avoid this, we need to face the situation upfront and not back down. To do this we need to know how to let out one's emotions. This helps to let out our thoughts and be less weighted individualistic (in the aspect of mind). This change is the need of the hour. Nowadays people have started looking after their mental health. This has caught up during the lockdown. Looking after one's mental health is as important as looking after one's physical health. Going to therapy and checking on your mental health is as important as going to a physician and doing a health checkup. This helps one to have a clear mind and have better communication of their issues.

One of the ways one can let out their emotions in a positive way is by engaging in our hobbies and exploring our interests in different ways.
