Anger-management yogi-style

My therapist-counsellor who told me I had difficulty expressing my anger — the same therapist-counsellor who ditched me to go into private practice with nary a hint that I might follow him with sliding-scale benefits (express this, dick-sweat!) — offered the following constructive, non-combative technique for dealing with anger:
  • Kneel beside your bed
  • Raise your fists above your head and breath in deeply
  • Bring your fists down forcefully on the bed, at the same time pushing the air out of your lungs
  • Repeat until serene

I tried it once with good results — however, red wine, preferably half a bottle, combined with a slab of dark chocolate, is most consistent.

(Two in one day, nay, one hour — impressive, no?)

Me, I like the chocolate. Or maybe slap a therapist...
