I’ve had this recent issue when I’m tired or exhausted and alone, I get overwhelmed easily and have to fight the urge to punch or throw something. I decide to run in circles, dance, just another way to burn off my pent up energy with my favorite upbeat music, and it worked the past 2 times I’ve done it!! I’m so happy about this.
If you go through this too I highly recommend finding a way to physically burn off whatever is pent up in your system.
Take care, everyone

I don’t know if you’ve seen hot rod at all, but the scene where he punch dances his rage out used to make me laugh so hard, and then I realised just how cathartic it actually was! I’m really glad you’ve found a way to release those feelings in a healthy way, and also to note when those feelings are around, because it’s really easy to get carried away with it.

hey friend,
this is an awesome technique to burn off energy or extra emotions! thank you so much for sharing your experience and i hope you can find any extra sense of separation from the things that make you feel overwhelmed or aggravated to the point of punching/throwing things. i’m proud of you for taking what could have been negative reactions (i.e. punching) and turning it into a fun expression of emotions through running, dancing, and any other sense of exercise. i hope you can keep going in this new method to burn off your feelings and stress!
love,
