There are many methods of calming that people use when they are hurt/angry/confused about a situation in their lives. I have dabbled in many of these myself. Drinking (awesome if it's only beer and wine and you're in bed by 11 on a school night), sports/working out (awesome, because you also sculpt your shit and/or get to hit people while working out the toxins of anger and stress), venting to friends (awesome/lame, because you exhaust yourself and others, but you might also get great advice). I have even come extremely close to throwing a newly purchased Big Mac out a car window as Adam H. Newman and I decided there may be nothing funnier than that happening. (I'm glad I didn't, that Big Mac was artfully crafted and delicious) But.... there is one thing you can do that never fails to solve some problems, even if temporarily.
Jump up and down on the bed.
Yes. It's childish. It's also humbling, exhausting, embarrassing, exhilarating, funny, ridiculous and slightly scary as I am just now, finally capable of hitting my head on the ceiling. But I guarantee, the least it will do is make you smile. Even if just at your own hopeless stupidity.
Next time you're at the end of your rope, hold on. But jump rope over your bed. Unless you break a weak ass ankle, you won't regret it.
