Hockey, boxing, embracing your inner Long Islander (I'm walking here you fuckin moron!). What do these things have in common?
What I learned from my favorite hippie spirituality (Abraham Hicks) is the emotional guidance scale. Fear, depression, self pity are lower vibration than anger. As you move up the ladder to contentment, it's common for women to be like "oh my God oh no I don't want to be one of those angry feminazi BETCHES I might scare the men!" And keep failing to claw out of low self esteem, depressive low vibrations.
Embrace your inner Long Islander! Don't do things like telling people to go fuck themselves (unless they deserve it and you can do so safely, I'm thinking of that viral clip of the Australian podcaster saying fuck off clowns to the MRA red pillers) since you don't want to incite road rage, like preserve your life, but otherwise I strongly encourage you to have a no holds barred attitude towards releasing your aggression in a healthy way. Punching your pillow and cussing, boxing, screaming underwater, scribbling angry journal entries and burning them in a fire, watching and especially playing hockey (YEAH HOCKEY FIGHTS), lacrosse, water polo... LET YOUR AGGRESSION OUT!!!!
I WAS SO SCARED for so long that it would make me an angry woman but it did the opposite, it released me from the weird tension dance of depression to anger to shame back to depression. Ride that ride all the way to the top! Play the drums loudly! Do power poses, martial arts, ANYTHING!
I love this so much. Gonna move towards this.

I want to get there SO BAD but I find myself stuck between shame and depression often. Like sometimes I start to get angry but as soon as I understand what's happening I get slammed with intense doubt and shame before I have a chance to even act on the anger and end up shutting down.
What kind of strategies do y'all have to be angry long enough to channel it into a pair of boxing gloves or a hockey stick?
So true! I read somewhere about how anger exists to protect you when you feel like you’ve been wronged. I used to pride myself on “never getting angry” like it was some kind of achievement that I let people walk all over me. When something unfair happens, we should be more than sad about it, we should be pissed the eff off!
Haha I think this is mostly a tri-state area thing.
Ahhhh recently joined and love your posts and comments. I actually just bought some boxing gloves a couple of weeks ago. Signed up for a gym last week. I’m ready!!
I recently went to go throw axes and it was so fun. It was pretty scary at first and I was afraid to throw it really hard but after a while I really got in the swing of things lol.
I get pretty wild and passionate teaching something....I perhaps should not be doing that
Not sure if this counts, but I get pretty wild when I’m skating. I get aggressive as an outdoor skater, and it definitely feels like an outlet!
