blow off steam

When I’m angry or just nervous I prefer to push up and doing exercises for my legs and trunk. That’s the way I blow off steam.

I do ballet to blow off steam. I put earphones with a good music and do very strenuous ballet exercises to the point of almost collapsing. Your feet hurt, the arms are shaking, but music helps you carry on. After an hour, you’re born again. Have you ever seen in the movie Hitch, the main heroine blow off steam, shouting at the pillow? I coulndn’t understand what she was doing, since we usually don’t blow off the steam like that. We laugh at the pillow when we don’t want someone to see it, we also cry into the pillow when something bad happened or fight with the pillow just for fun.

There are many ways to blow off steam, each person has different way as every of us has different characters.

Dear Shoba , you are right . sometimes it`s the only way   (at least for me) to vent out   steam before it blows out  to the sky,  but usually i am very calm and mellow :))))) 

At those hard times when I’m fed up with stress and anger, I prefer to be alone excercising, walking in a green place, looking at the clear sky from the roof of the house (knowing that I have phobia of high places :D) and think of my life and reschedule my should-to-do things to get my life better. Also reading a self-help book helps when any of the above aren’t available.

Dear Julito,

You seem to be really letting your steam out through your mouth when you sit and puff a cigaratte at the time you’re boiling!

Going for a long walk and listening to music both work on me, but sometimes I really need to do difficult activities to blow off steam. I’m not sure about shouting into a pillow but shooting the pillow seems nice…generally I think shooting everything is helpful in such situations. Shooting dishes, shooting darts, shooting people :D

 When in  the boiler room the red lights are flashing warning that  preassure is building up  , i immediately put the boiler to run in  safe-mode , which consist in singing aloud ,( I have a varied repertorie of songs )  tangos, Frank Sinatra, Aretha Franklin , to name a few. If  music  doesn`t work then i smoke a cigarette … hmmmm only one ? i doubt it. and then again , if i am still pissed off  ,nothing is working , i use plan C :  cuss words …   Ahhhhh i am better now.

My way to blow off steam is to watch comedy series. It helps.

Shout out loud is my best way to blow off steam. Just go somewhere noones knows okay

When I am steamed up about something, I know I’ll blow up sooner or later and take it out on my family members.

At those times, I go into a silent mode and sort out the laundry or pull out the weeds in our garden. It really works for me. 

Sleeping is a good way to blow off steam.
