Lighten your load / Air out your emotional baggage

Lighten Your Load with Laughter
Here are some healthy ways to inject a little laughter into your life. You will find them useful to help cope with unpleasant situations, including health problems:

Rediscover the kid in you: Children laugh around 400 times a day - compared to only about 25 times for adults. Watch youngsters, see what makes them laugh, and try to bring some of that playfulness into your life.
Lighten up: Instead of bristling at life's annoyances - lost luggage, a late bus - try to view them as amusing and joke with others who are in the same fix.
Look for humor in difficult situations: Just make sure that your jokes aren't made at the expense of others, which could be hurtful instead of enjoyable. Positive humor is better for the mind, body and spirit than negative humor.

Natural Treatment for Depression
Depression is a state of extreme sadness. A lot of American adults, and now even teens, suffer from this kind of mental illness. Depression can be so severe it can make the person unable to think straight and commit suicide, in worst cases.

1. Proper exercise. Depression and being physically active don’t match. Working out takes your mind off things. There will be no time to be depressed if you are always on the move and is doing something. Get your mind occupied all the time. Make exercise your hobby. Aerobic exercise is highly advised. Exercising for about 30 minutes a day does not only give you a healthier body. It gives you a better mentally as well.
5. Meditation. Meditation can aid in offsetting depression. Meditation is the process of calming the mind and putting it a tranquil state. It is a method wherein a person becomes aware of his mental condition. And during that phase, he becomes capable of making choices that could change his mental and emotional situation toward the right path. Meditation makes a person relax and let go of his physical and emotional baggage, which can be depression in this case.

Walk your sorrows

I believe it means a combination of lightening one's load and the very practical advice of "walking it out".
I don't know if it communicates fully, but I wanted to express the double entendre.
