Wow. Good question. Sometimes the negative ones are really hard to resist and find alternatives for. I'm not sure how positive these are, but...
I think my better substitutes are punching/kicking a heavy bag or doing pullups. Something that makes me feel pain but is not truly doing damage to me.
DH and I had a really, really bad fight this week. I slammed a LOT of doors, even if I wasn't walking through them. Just slammed em. He hates that, but it helps and I figure that while it's not the best choice, it's not really damaging. I'm thinking tetherball might be satisfying in a similar way, and may look into getting one for the backyard. |
