Because the root cause of hwa-byung is emotional suppression, practicing safely expressing emotions in daily life is essential. An emotion journal (recording the situations that caused anger, their intensity, and your reactions), conversations with trusted people, and meetings with a professional counselor are all helpful. Regular aerobic exercise (brisk walking, swimming) releases pent-up energy, and abdominal breathing and meditation stabilize the autonomic nervous system. When the source of stress cannot be resolved, learning reframing (reinterpreting meaning) and distancing strategies is important.
