Relieved
What is Relieved?
The release of tension and worry after a threat, difficulty, or period of uncertainty has passed. It is a deeply satisfying exhale — the body and mind unclenching from a prolonged state of stress. Relief can feel almost as good as joy when the preceding anxiety was significant.
When you might feel relieved
Relieved is a specific form of peaceful, which itself is a type of love. You might experience this feeling in situations where love is present, particularly when the circumstances align with the nuances that define relieved.
