Not Yelling

Some other ways you might want to use to vent your frustration or anger with out violence or destruction:

Pottery – really, have you molded and thrown and shoved a lump of clay lately?
Walking – also good exercise. Running’s good, but it’s harder on the knees.
Scrubbing your tub – venting, and cleaning, a good combo. Or weeding, a destruction that is good for you.
Going for a drive – better in bad weather than walking, but uses up gas
Loud music – drowning out your anger through volume can work, especially if you sing at the top of your lungs, too
Sex – don’t go out and have anonymous sex with strangers (see previous posts), but if you’ve got a partner that likes it hot and sweaty now and again, have at. Masturbation’s good, too.
Crafts like painting or knitting – something physical that creates. Not as good, because the physical aspect isn’t as vigorous, but for those “low simmer” times, creating something of beauty can help raise your mood
Writing – get your angry yelling down on paper, either in true form or disguised in a bit of fiction. Use loud, angry pens like red markers and those blue bleeding pens that drip across the page, the ones you don’t like using for anything else. Crayon works well, too, if you dare to seem a bit silly
