Frustration...Let it Out!!!

"I've come to believe that all my past failure and frustration were actually laying the foundation for the understandings that have created the new level of living I now enjoy." -Anthony Robbins

So I've had a very busy day today...and felt very frustrated after all the major events took place.

What?!?! Kazie frustrated? NO WAY!!!
Hey it happens to everyone kids. I'm not a God, I have bad days as well.

Mine involved taking multiple exams back to back while balancing a way to study for a future one that I have in about 14 hours from now actually (7:34 pm= now). While also treating my wounded shoulders and arms which have been going off the deep end lately. Add to fact that my friends wanted to me to go out but I couldn't due to the fact I have to study kind of pissed me off. And to top it off, my college ID got stolen. Yeah, it's been one of those days where I just wanted to yell profanities at the next person I come in contact with.

Whew! Now I feel much better. Wait. What just happened?

Ladies and gentlemen I give you a way to release your frustration. Releasing what's on your chest that's making it suck and then you feel a little more relieved. Some people do this and don't even realize it; remember when you had a bad day and you told your friend about it? And suddenly you started feeling a tad bit better just by getting that stuff out of ya.

Now of course, some people (like me) like to keep things that REALLY piss you off locked in right next to your empty locker next to your brain for a period of time. Sometimes that works but the majority of the time it gets worse due to the fact of time traveling by and then your still thinking about it which leads you to get more pissed until you finally release it like a nuke hitting the surface and taking everything out in one swoop.

May I suggest trying one of these recommended ways to release your frustration:

  • Video Games Are Your Friends: Grab a controller and pop in Modern Warfare 2. You get to release your anger by shooting people online or offline after having a bad day. I really think some people have this game just as a stress reliever. What better way to release bad energy than with an M4 carbine with fall camo as you go to town trying to unlock your own personal attack helicopter to reign supreme! Plus sports game like FIFA, Madden, NBA 2K11, Fight Night, UFC Unleashed and such are good as well...who doesn't like yelling at refs and players? Now Go play a video game!
  • Jab, Cross, Hook, Uppercut!: Not a gamer? Then grab some gloves. Boxing is another great way to release havoc after a busy day. Plus your working out your body in the process. Sway! Jab! Lean! Right Hook! Combo! Counter! You gotta stick and move. Can't find a partner? Then just shadowbox. Basically act like your in a ring and just practice jabs and uppercuts and other combos. Who would have thought anger would lead to a leaner and more muscular you huh? Just don't hit me with your nasty right hook OK?
  • Scream!: Plain and simple. Take in a breath and scream as loud as you can. Sure you might break a mirror or two but you will feel way better. Let's try: Breathe in, HOLD IT! (Wait for it....WAIT for it...AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!) Much better.
Now these are just my top 3 suggestions. But there is a variety of things to release that bad mojo in your gut. Try multiple ways and see which way makes you feel more awesome. Or do multiple ones so that you just feel 120% the next day.

But frustration happens people. It's serious. We gotta get that out of there...life's to short to focus on crap that makes us turn sour.

AAAAHHHH!! Whoa...think that one scared my neighbors.
