Extra-Strength Stress Relievers

It’s been a stressful oh-my-god-it’s-nearly-been-two-years, and if you’re anything like me, you’re probably thinking:

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!

And I know where you’re coming from. It seems more important than ever to take time for stress relievers these days, but the old stuff just ain’t cutting it. So below I’ve given you the classic stress relievers as well as my new EXTRA-STRENGTH variation.

  1. Write an Angry Email/Text, but Don’t Send it.

    EXTRA STRENGTH: Write an Angry Email/Text, but DO Send it.

    Sure, writing down your feelings couldn’t hurt, but with the way the world’s been lately, you need that visceral rush of knowing your spite has an outlet. Besides, if the email/text recipient didn’t want to hear your unfiltered thoughts about them, they shouldn’t have wronged you and/or existed.

2. Break Something Small and Insignificant (like a Pencil)

EXTRA STRENGTH: Break Down (into Screams and Convulsions.)

Better out than in, when it comes to stress. And be honest, what was a pencil going to do anyway?

3. Reach out to a Friend

EXTRA STRENGTH: Reach out to Levistus, Archdevil of the Fifth Circle, where dwell those consumed by wrath and ire, and make a compact to enact your revenge.

Friends can be a great help in trying times, but Levistus conquered one-ninth of hell and he’s totally on your side about making your enemies pay for their crimes.
