I agree. I never destroy things when I’m upset. I have too much respect for things that serve me.
I usually try some cognitive reframing, while giving full attention to my Kitty. She calms me down. But that’s mature, I guess.
If someone really gets on my nerves, I may listen to hard rock or heavy metal songs on my headphones. Which I dedicate to that "special person." The emotional flooding just fades away.
I concentrate on the music. It’s very cathartic. Like you can dedicate Iron Maiden’s "The Number of the Beast", Bloodhound Gang’s "Fire Water Burn", Motörhead”s "Killed by Death", Jimi Hendrix’ "Hey Joe" to your current "enemy."
