Secret Pal Day is on January 11 and we are stoked to get unusually loud with the person we whisper our secrets to. Secret pals will forever hold a place in our hearts; they are understanding, trustworthy, and a relief from outer emotional baggage and mental stress. Do you know that keeping secrets is detrimental to our health? In a way, a secret pal is a preventive measure for those health risks.
History of Secret Pal Day
The history of Secret Pal Day is still unknown, but it is a great way to celebrate relationships and their impact on our psychological well-being. Secrets are nearly as old as time. Everyone keeps secrets to protect themselves or their relationships, or to uphold a certain image. Children begin to keep secrets as early as five years old. We are so worried about our secrets transpiring that we undergo mental stress while trying to keep them hidden.
We keep secrets by creating a heavy room in our minds and locking up all access to it. This room restricts our thoughts and affects our mental and emotional balance. Being secretive is a lot of strain on the mind, and it severely affects mental health. Keeping secrets not only affects our digestive system but also causes high blood pressure; surprisingly, it also leads to low libido and back pain. Secrets have impacts on our emotional stability. Research has proven that people who keep secrets are susceptible to depression, poor self-confidence, and inferiority complex.
The more our minds wander to the secrets in our heads and make us emotionally distressed. This is what makes our secret pals so special; they are always there to rely on and maintain our confidence. They also lessen our burden by offering advice and care, without making us feel judged or guilty. Sharing secrets helps us to build stronger and long-lasting relationships. On Secret Pal Day, we make cheers to our health and friendship
