Leslie221 Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 Found these tips on line. I find doing physical stuff like this really makes me feel better. Hope it helps others! Also, there's a link for a cool on-line relaxation guide. Check it out! Leslie b]Anger Work-Out[/b] Anger work-out refers to a healthy and full expression of anger on inanimate objects; not on people so as to rid myself of hostility and aggression aroused by my anger. Each of the following techniques could be used alone or in any combination. beating on pillows beating on a mattress stomping on floor beating a bed with tennis or racquetball racket beating a rug with a stick hitting a weight bag or punching bag physical exertion, i.e., playing racquetball, tennis, hand ball, etc. yelling in a car with windows closed yelling in a paper bag ripping up a telephone book or newspapers hammering nails in a board games in an amusement park that require pounding throwing soft objects beating a pillow or bed with a foam or plastic bat karate or judo practice beating drums loud yelling screaming at a concert or sports event screaming in a vacant field or park using a shovel to dig holes in the dirt hitting balls or stones with a baseball bat hitting a ball against a wall with racket or hand bowling to hit all the pins down writing a letter of anger, but ripping it up the next day - not mailing it expressing feelings by writing in a journal wringing a wet towel using a hammer to smash glass in a bag kneading bread or play dough http://www.thebecompany.com/relaxation_online.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LynneH Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 Thanks Leslie! I really enjoyed the web site. I think this is the first "vacation week" I've taken since Jim died where I've stayed in town, mostly at the house. Was more difficult than I thought it would be and the relaxation exercises really made me feel those tense muscles go soft. Thanks again!

bunny Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 I'm so disappointed to learn that getting into verbal altercations with cab drivers isn't on that list. oh well. I'll try some of those suggestions, no chance of arrest. whack-a-mole therapy, I LOVE it. xoxo bunny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eppie Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 Chopping and stacking wood worked for me this past week. I loaded our Ford f150 twice and unloaded it. I stacked a about a cord. The chopping ws really great. Just pretended the log was cancer. Felt great and good to be helping my family stay warm this winter. I also love to lift weights.
