Pat was saying that she was out smashing pumpkins against the tree yesterday to take out some frustrations.  I thought that a wonderful idea.  Wish I had a pumpkin.  LOL


So curious minds...........  how do you relieve frustration?

I write. I'll pull out my journal and really just let go. I vent out all the hurt and frustration and the petty, childish feelings, as well as the real or imagined insults.

I don't smash pumpkins, but I do pound the pavement. ;-)

I don't really hide it. I tend to leave it wherever I wrote in it last - usually in the kitchen, lol.

LOL! Poor Suzan! I can hoof it around the neighborhood pretty fast and if I'm really irritated, I'll tackle the hill behind us.

I like to hoof it off too. funny how we both are born the same day and do that. Since i was not feeling very well lately it b it off. the poor dog, i am sure, thinks i have lost it. silly boy...i lost it a long time ago LOL.


when i was youn ger i would kick those big garbage bins. Dad had me taking karate as a kid and i was on a wresteling team in elementery school and i swam and rode bike a lot. so i was in great shape. I would karate kick the bins. Great relief.


When i feel better i am sure i am going to go back to the fast angry walking.

Interesting reading how different people handle frustrations. I would not kick a wall though..Ouch..LOL!!


What I do is verbally vent. My husband is a good listener and lets me go on and on about whatever, or whomever, is bugging me and then smiles as I'm feeling better
