Sometimes you may find yourself in a frustrating or rather infuriating scenario. And if you’re anything like me, you may have a bit of a temper.
Throughout the years, I have had a very bad mean streak. My anger can be quite ferocious at times. However, I have learned to control it. Now, that’s not to say I don’t get mad because I do. I choose to channel my aggression. There are several ways I go about this, but the new way I discovered is my favorite.
Not too long ago, I was having a not-so-great day, and I decided to take my feelings out on the heavy bag. I’m not sure why, but it seemed like the appropriate thing to do.
Grabbing the boxing gloves, I prepared to lay all my feelings out there against this object that couldn’t do anything about it. A release was desperately needed and I took the opportunity to let it all out.
I’ve watched boxing over the course of my life, as well as used a bag before but this was different. Zeroing in on my target I began to strategically punch the heavy bag.
I jabbed. Right. Left. Right, left, right. Left, right, left. Breathing out with the hit and breathing in going back into stance. With each punch, I released all the negativity I was feeling. And the power behind my hits was amazing.
Now, boxing has become part of my morning routine.
I say all this for one reason. Pick up a set of boxing gloves. Allow yourself to release any anger, frustration, or negativity in general. It’s a wonderful stress reliever and an awesome workout. Oh, and make sure to wrap your hands first. (Learned that the hard way.)
No need to get bent out of shape. The heavy bag is your friend…that you can beat on when you’re pissed.
