My kind of training is methodical, not an outlet for anger
I don’t want to get hurt or have a criminal record, and I like to think before I act. I am pretty soft guy all in all. Seems like there isn’t much to do.
Really feeling like kicking the ass of a retarded muslim cow down the stair.
Are you looking for a way to release your anger or diffuse your anger?
-Release anger: punching bag, batting cage driving range, video games…
-Diffuse anger: @Yogi1’s suggestion, or anything that can make you laugh, meditation, reading, helping others less fortunate…
Perspective. I deliberately realize that of the 7 billion people on earth I’m damn lucky and my life is really very blessed. Then I ask myself if the energy I’m wasting being angry is getting me closer to my goals or enriching my life in any way. I realize that the emotions streaming out of my mind are not my creation and I can ignore them and choose how I want to feel and who I’m going to be (ideally not an angry prick). This is called mindfulness. Read up on it.
Getting really damn busy with productive things. Effective people don’t have time to wallow in negative emotions.
Lately I’ve been pounding my fist into the center console of my truck. The truck seems fine, but my wrist and hand are bruised.
I’m a pretty stoic person, but there are situations with my profession where I’m held accountable for contractors who do not finish projects, and I only have so much leverage. This pisses me off
My best workout partner used to get explosively mad. Had a pretty high pressure job. Break stuff. This guy was in mid 50s , really strong, and a great friend. He said it was amazing his temper hadn’t landed him in prison. His wife said his working out with me really helped get his temper under control. I didn’t do anything but just watch him explode at times.
I have the exact opposite attitude and a very high boiling point. Maybe choose the people around you. Using hand grippers outside seems like a good idea.
I work out with a Scottish guy on occasion Cross-fitty-type gym. We were doing ball slams with a 5 stone ball. He was struggling to get the ball over his head after several reps. Told him to imagine he was on a castle battlement and the English were below.
I had a propensity to turn my anger inwards, which slowly devolved into depression. Pretty much bottle it up. After years of therapy I’ve learned to channel it into something with great passion. Usually my training, or even my artwork, or poetry. Sometimes however, I’m quick to be a real lady asshole, and I’m sharp with my words. There’s been one instance where i use physical means. And I don’t feel proud of that day.
