Exercise…get some endorphins going.

Answer 1

Answer:

Judy needs to A. Vent... letting it out clears the soul.

Explanation:

Emotional regulation refers to an individual's ability of dealing with his/her emotions in a rational and appropriate way. It is a healthy way of doing so, in order for one's emotions to not affect various aspects of his/her life.

In this case, drinking is not a viable solution and dance, exercising and cursing are in their own way a form of venting. Letting it out will clear her soul and help her.
