What Do You Do When You Are Mad At The World or Feel Other Powerful Emotions?

If I can't change the circumstances, I make myself numb and try to forget the world for a few days. I try to live a good life, but crap bombs keep falling.

I find an outlet. I like to do astrophotography or play video games to help vent that stress.

When I'm that angry, I tend to get away from the world for a while until I get a good grasp on reality...

I grab the dog and go for a hike. A couple hours out in the woods seems to help me.

I try to keep in mind that there is only a small bit of life that I personally can control. I find something to do that I enjoy to lift and shift my mood!

I have heard of many Vietnam Vets who escaped into the woods. They appreciated the serenity of the wind rustling the leaves, the sun warm on their backs, and a crystal clear sky.

Wish that I was God for just five minutes!!! I hasten to add that this feeling is generally associated with reading Facebook or watching MSNBC.

I go and watch the two waterfalls in my backyard and then wonder why I got mad or upset.

MAJ Ken Landgren Since I quit drinking 30 years ago, when I feel these emotions I tend to hole up until they pass. I listen to music and read.... Just quiet time.

MAJ Ken Landgren I go to a boxing, kickboxing or similar class several times a week, if I'm "Mad at the world or feel other powerful emotions" I project it onto the bag or into powering through my workout. This process works great for me.
