“Use your words” is good advice for all of us when we are feeling upset and having that inevitable bad day, week, or semester. Although blowing off steam by yelling, screaming, or throwing things may be tempting at first, those behaviors only prolong negativity. Putting pen to paper or talking things over with a trusted friend can help us gain insight into the experience, put it behind us, and get on with our lives. That’s far better for our well-being than suiting up in protective gear and smashing old TVs and office furniture. It’ll save you twenty-five dollars too.
