Feeling relieved face

Relieved (feeling lighter)

  • What it feels like: That wonderful feeling when a worry or a problem suddenly disappears, or something difficult is finally over. It's like a big weight has been lifted off your shoulders, and you can breathe easier. You might feel calm, happy, or just a lot less stressed.
  • When you might feel it: When a big Court meeting is finished, when you finally understand something that has been confusing, when you find out good news, or when a worry you had turns out to be okay.
  • What you can do: Take a deep breath and let it all out. Share the good news or the calmer feeling with someone you trust. Enjoy the peace and quiet feeling or go do something you enjoy like playing outside or reading a book.
